Summary

The dam, standing at 25 feet tall and stretching 657 feet in length, is classified as an Earth dam with a Stone core. With a storage capacity of 138 acre-feet and a surface area of 14 acres, the dam holds a low hazard potential and is currently not rated for its condition.

Despite being privately owned, the dam is state-jurisdiction regulated and inspected, ensuring its safety and compliance with necessary standards. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated structures. The last inspection took place in September 2018, with a current inspection frequency of 5 years. While the dam's risk assessment is moderate, there are no specific risk management measures outlined.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Alexanders Lake East Dam presents an interesting case study in dam infrastructure management and recreational water usage. With its peaceful setting and moderate risk assessment, the dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human recreation and environmental safety in our water systems.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
