Summary
The dam stands at a hydraulic height of 25 feet and has a structural height of 26 feet, with a length of 500 feet. It has a NID storage capacity of 56 acre-feet, with a significant hazard potential due to its age and condition assessment being "Not Rated".
Despite being privately owned, Langley does not fall under state or federal regulatory oversight, with no inspections or enforcement in place. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared or updated, raising concerns about its ability to handle potential emergencies. With a risk assessment and management measures yet to be determined, the dam's risk of failure remains uncertain.
Enthusiasts interested in water resource and climate issues may find Langley's lack of regulatory oversight and emergency preparedness concerning, especially given its significant hazard potential. As a privately owned recreational dam with no recent condition assessment, the dam poses a potential risk to the surrounding community and environment. Further monitoring and mitigation efforts may be needed to ensure the safety and sustainability of Langley in the face of changing climate conditions.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
