Summary
This private earth dam stands at a height of 13.4 feet and has a storage capacity of 129.5 acre-feet. The dam, with a length of 835 feet, serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area, encompassing 14 acres of surface area.
Despite being unlisted as a state-regulated structure, Lindsey Lake Dam is inspected every five years for maintenance and safety. The dam's hazard potential is classified as low, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. While the dam's condition is not currently rated, the structure is deemed to be in a stable state, prepared to handle any potential emergencies that may arise.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate Lindsey Lake Dam for its contribution to irrigation and the local ecosystem. With its controlled spillway and uncontrolled outlet gates, the dam provides essential water management for the region. Although its risk assessment suggests moderate caution, the dam's low hazard potential and regular inspections ensure its continued functionality and safety for years to come.

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.
