Summary
With a height of 17.7 feet and a storage capacity of 203 acre-feet, the dam offers a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various activities. Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a safe and well-maintained infrastructure.
Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, Taylor Farms Lake Dam has not been regulated by the state and has not undergone recent modifications. The dam's last inspection in September 2018 reported a satisfactory condition, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. While the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures are not specified, its overall risk assessment suggests a moderate level of risk, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of the surrounding area and water resources.
The dam's picturesque location, in proximity to a stream, offers a beautiful setting for outdoor enthusiasts to appreciate the importance of water resource management and climate conservation. As a privately owned structure, Taylor Farms Lake Dam serves as a recreational hub while maintaining a low hazard potential and moderate risk level, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality for future generations to enjoy.

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.
