Summary
The earth dam, with a height of 34 feet and a hydraulic height of 28 feet, has a storage capacity of 415 acre-feet and a normal storage of 230 acre-feet. The dam spans 720 feet and covers a surface area of 20 acres, with a drainage area of 338 acres.
Managed by a private owner, the dam is inspected regularly, with the last inspection conducted in June 2002. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition is currently listed as "Not Rated." It is designed with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, and its purpose primarily revolves around recreation. The dam's designer is listed as the Natural Resources Conservation Service, showcasing a commitment to environmental conservation and responsible water resource management.
Pine Valley Camp Lake Dam provides a vital recreational and water storage resource in the region, catering to outdoor enthusiasts and serving as a picturesque landscape feature. With careful monitoring and maintenance, this earth dam continues to play a crucial role in the local ecosystem, contributing to the overall environmental sustainability of the area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Pine Valley Camp Lake Dam stands as a prime example of harmonizing human recreation with responsible water management practices.

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.
