Summary

The primary purpose of the dam is for recreation, with a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet and a surface area of 2.8 acres. The dam stands at a hydraulic height of 15 feet and a structural height of 19 feet, providing a low hazard potential according to assessments.

Situated on the TERRE ROUGE CREEK-TR, H and P Lake Dam offers a serene environment for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy water activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam has not been rated for condition assessment, but its low hazard potential suggests minimal risks associated with its operation. Despite not being regulated or inspected by state agencies, the dam serves as a valuable resource for the local community in Oakhaven, providing a recreational outlet for residents and visitors alike.

While H and P Lake Dam may not be subject to state jurisdiction or permitting, its presence contributes to the natural landscape and water resources of the area. With a history dating back to 1969, the dam continues to offer a tranquil setting for recreational pursuits and serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and preserving water resources 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.
