Summary
Standing at a height of 23.1 feet with a hydraulic height of 22 feet, the dam creates a reservoir with a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and it has a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Despite its unknown completion date, Kleckley Lake Dam remains a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the Randolph County area. With a surface area of 7 acres and a normal storage capacity of 63 acre-feet, the dam provides a serene setting for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. The dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation to ensure its long-term safety and functionality.
While Kleckley Lake Dam may not be under state regulation or jurisdiction, its importance in providing recreational opportunities and supporting local ecosystems cannot be understated. As enthusiasts continue to explore and appreciate this man-made structure and its surrounding natural beauty, efforts to maintain and enhance its resilience in the face of changing climate patterns will be crucial for its sustained enjoyment and preservation.

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.
