Summary
The dam, with a structural height of 15 feet and a hydraulic height of 11 feet, harnesses the waters of Little Tick Creek-TR for the storage of up to 62 acre-feet of water. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment.
Owned privately, Crouch Lake Dam is not regulated by the state and does not fall under the jurisdiction of any state regulatory agency. Although it has not been inspected in recent years and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures, the dam continues to provide essential water resources for irrigation and recreation in the area. With its proximity to the city of NONE, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage in the region.
Despite its modest size and limited infrastructure, Crouch Lake Dam remains a valuable asset for the local community, offering a reliable source of water for agricultural purposes. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the significance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Crouch Lake Dam cannot be overstated, especially in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing water demands.

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.
