Summary

This earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet with a maximum storage capacity of 280 acre-feet and a normal storage of 175 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Coffee Creek and is owned by the local government, with no state jurisdiction or regulation.

With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Lucas Pond Dam presents a relatively safe structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore. The dam spans 660 feet in length and has a hydraulic height of 20 feet. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam's purpose for recreation offers visitors a chance to appreciate the surrounding natural beauty and engage in outdoor activities.

Although lacking in certain regulatory assessments and emergency preparedness measures, Lucas Pond Dam maintains a safe environment for visitors and nearby residents. With its serene location and ample storage capacity, the dam provides a peaceful retreat for those interested in water resources and climate conservation efforts. The dam's unique design and historical significance make it a noteworthy site to visit for enthusiasts in the field.

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.
