Summary

The dam stands at 14 feet tall and spans 609 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, providing opportunities for boating, fishing, and other leisure activities.

Despite its high hazard potential, Beall Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in 1978. The dam is not regulated by the state and does not have a designated regulatory agency overseeing its maintenance and operation. With a drainage area of 1.1 square miles and a maximum discharge of 1500 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Beall Lake Dam to be a fascinating structure, with its earth dam type and strategic location along the Kellogg Creek-TR. The dam's historical significance, combined with its recreational value, makes it an important asset for the community. However, the lack of recent inspections and condition assessments raise concerns about the dam's long-term safety and maintenance needs, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and oversight to ensure its resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
