Summary
The dam, located in the city of Ashburn, was last inspected in July 2015 and has been classified as having a low hazard potential. Despite not being state regulated, the dam is regularly inspected by the owner and meets inspection frequency guidelines.
With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, Crossroads Lake Dam presents a manageable level of risk. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates contribute to its risk profile, although the condition assessment has not been rated. The dam serves as a crucial water resource for the area, with a normal storage capacity of 71 acre-feet and a surface area of 15 acres. Despite its private ownership, the dam plays a significant role in managing water resources in the region.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Crossroads Lake Dam an intriguing case study in dam management and risk assessment. With its location in a high-risk weather area, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plans are essential aspects to monitor. As a privately owned structure, the dam's resilience to changing climate patterns and its role in water conservation are important factors to consider for the sustainability of water resources in the region.

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.
