Summary
This private dam, standing at a height of 27.2 feet with a hydraulic height of 24.2 feet, holds a storage capacity of 90.8 acre-feet. With a normal storage level of 57 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres, Frazier Lake Dam plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the region.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and not rated in terms of condition assessment, Frazier Lake Dam is subject to regular inspections, with the last one conducted in December 2008. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, indicating a simpler design compared to other structures. Representing a moderate risk level according to risk assessment, Frazier Lake Dam serves as a vital water resource for the local community and contributes to the sustainable management of water in the area.
With its Earth core and Buttress structure type, Frazier Lake Dam exemplifies the importance of water infrastructure in supporting agriculture and enhancing water management practices. As climate change continues to impact water resources, dams like Frazier Lake play a critical role in ensuring water security and resilience in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
