Summary

With a height of 23 feet and a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet, the dam is situated on Adams Creek and covers a surface area of 13 acres. Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, the dam has a high hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition.

The dam, managed by private owners, has not undergone any significant modifications since its construction and lacks emergency action plans or inundation maps. With a maximum discharge capacity of 353 cubic feet per second, the dam's primary purpose is to provide recreational opportunities for the community. Though not under the jurisdiction of state regulatory agencies, the dam's high hazard potential highlights the need for proper risk assessment and management measures to ensure the safety of surrounding areas in case of a breach.

Given its historical significance and importance for local recreation, Country Club Lake Dam serves as a reminder of the need for proactive maintenance and emergency preparedness for private dams. As climate change continues to impact water resources, ensuring the safety and resilience of dams like Country Club Lake Dam becomes increasingly crucial for the protection of both people and the environment.

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.
