Summary

Built in 1961, this private dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 659 acre-feet. It is primarily an earth dam, with a hydraulic height of 10 feet and a length of 1105 feet. The dam is situated on Beaver Creek-OS and is under the jurisdiction of the Vicksburg District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Despite its significant hazard potential, Stone Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. There is no state regulation or inspection for this dam, and it is not currently equipped with an emergency action plan. With a maximum discharge of 2178 cubic feet per second, the dam poses a risk to the surrounding area in the event of a breach. It is crucial for stakeholders and local authorities to prioritize the safety and maintenance of Stone Lake Dam to prevent any potential disasters.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Stone Lake Dam should be aware of its diverse uses and the potential risks associated with its operation. As a key infrastructure for fire protection and recreation, the dam plays a vital role in the community. However, without proper assessment and management measures in place, there is a need for increased oversight and safety measures to ensure the longevity and safety of Stone Lake Dam for future generations.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
