Summary
The dam, situated on Scott Creek, has a maximum storage capacity of 63 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 25 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Despite not being regulated by the state, Lynn Hendrix Lake Dam serves as an essential infrastructure for water storage and flood control. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, contributing to its operational efficiency. Although its condition is currently not rated, the dam's risk management measures and moderate risk assessment ensure its reliability in safeguarding the surrounding environment and communities.
Lynn Hendrix Lake Dam, operated by a private entity, remains a key component in the region's water resource management system. With its strategic location and functional design, this earth dam continues to play a vital role in maintaining water supply and mitigating potential risks associated with flooding and water discharge. As a significant structure in the area, the dam's presence underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management practices in the face of changing climate patterns and environmental challenges.

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.
