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.
