Summary
With a primary purpose of fire protection and serving as a stock or small fish pond, the dam also offers recreational opportunities. It has a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, with a length of 500 feet and a maximum storage capacity of 74 acre-feet.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Street Lake Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. The dam is situated on South Big Creek in the Memphis District and serves as a vital resource for the local community, providing essential water storage for various purposes. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam contributes to the conservation and management of water resources in the region.
As a key structure for fire protection and water storage, Street Lake Dam plays a vital role in the local ecosystem and community resilience. While the dam's condition assessment is currently "Not Rated," its low hazard potential and purposeful design highlight its importance for water resource management in the area. With its construction dating back to 1967, the dam continues to serve its intended functions while offering recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.

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.
