Summary
Completed in 1959, this rockfill dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 294 acre-feet. The dam spans 510 feet and covers a surface area of 5.7 acres, with a drainage area of 0.83 square miles.
Despite being privately owned, Wofford Lake Dam is not regulated or inspected by state agencies. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status for the dam is not available, indicating a lack of preparedness for potential emergencies. With its location on the White River, this dam serves as a recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty.
While Wofford Lake Dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of state agencies, its importance for recreation and water resource management in the area cannot be understated. As enthusiasts explore the White River-TR, the dam stands as a testament to the balance between human development and environmental preservation. The dam's historical significance, coupled with its serene surroundings, make it a must-visit destination for those interested in water resources and climate conservation.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
