Summary
This private dam is primarily an earth dam type with a buttress core, standing at a height of 9 feet with a hydraulic height of 8 feet. It has a drainage area of 1440 acres and a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet.
Although the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as not assessed in terms of condition, it poses a moderate risk according to risk assessment data. The last inspection conducted on Lindsey Lake Dam was in July 1984, with no recent updates on its condition assessment. Despite its age, the dam continues to provide essential water resource management functions in the area.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Lindsey Lake Dam can appreciate its historical significance as a vital infrastructure for water management in the region. The dam's multiple purposes and modest size make it an important asset for fire protection, irrigation, and recreational activities such as fishing. While it may not be regularly inspected or rated for condition, efforts to ensure its safety and effectiveness for future generations may be necessary to sustain its role in the local water ecosystem.

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.
