Summary
The dam, designed by WHITFIELD ENG., is primarily used for recreation and stands at a height of 17 feet with a length of 666 feet. It has a storage capacity of 180 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 20 acres, drawing water from the Tar Creek.
While the dam's hazard potential is undetermined and its condition is not rated, it is considered to have a moderate risk level. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated structures or locks. Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, Threadmill Lake Dam serves as a vital resource for water supply and recreational activities in the area.
Although the exact year of completion is unknown, the dam continues to play a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. With its peaceful surroundings and scenic location, Threadmill Lake Dam remains a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking to enjoy outdoor activities and appreciate the importance of sustainable dam infrastructure.

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.
