This private dam stands at a height of 20 feet with a length of 480 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. The dam is of the Earth type with a buttress core, and its spillway is uncontrolled, contributing to a low hazard potential.
Despite not being state-regulated or inspected, Glenn Lake Dam presents a moderate risk level (3) based on a risk assessment. The dam's condition is currently not rated, and it lacks an emergency action plan (EAP) or inundation maps. While the dam's hazard potential is low, its risk level suggests the need for continued monitoring and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding area and its water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.
