Summary
This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 13 feet and spans a length of 651 feet, providing a storage capacity of 157 acre-feet of water in its reservoir. With a normal storage level of 88 acre-feet and a surface area of 18 acres, the dam primarily caters to recreational activities for the local community.
Despite being privately owned, Wildwood Farms Lake Dam is subject to state jurisdiction and inspection, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations. The dam's hazard potential is rated as low, and its condition assessment is not rated, suggesting that it is well-maintained and poses minimal risk to the surrounding area. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified, its moderate risk assessment indicates a proactive approach to addressing potential hazards and ensuring public safety.
Overall, Wildwood Farms Lake Dam stands as a testament to responsible water resource management and climate resilience in the region. Its recreational purpose, coupled with its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring such vital infrastructure to protect both the environment and the community it serves.

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.
