Summary

5 Lake Dam is a privately-owned structure primarily used for recreational purposes. This earth dam, with a height of 13 feet and a length of 320 feet, creates a lake with a storage capacity of 118 acre-feet and a surface area of 14.4 acres. Despite being unlisted for foundations, the dam is inspected regularly by state authorities with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.

Although not regulated by the state, this dam is deemed safe for public use with an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates. The last inspection in April 2014 found the structure in a condition that was not rated, and no emergency action plan was reported. While the risk assessment is moderate, the dam meets guidelines for risk management measures, ensuring the safety of the surrounding community and environment. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Stone Creek Subdivision No. 5 Lake Dam offers a fascinating insight into the intersection of human intervention and natural landscapes in the pursuit of recreational activities.

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.
