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.
