Summary
This Earth dam, made of stone and rock foundations, stands at a height of 6.8 meters and serves a primary purpose of 'Other'. With a storage capacity of 58.6 acre-feet and a surface area of 24 acres, Lake Cleveland plays a vital role in the region's water resource management.
Managed by the Idaho Department of Water Resources, Lake Cleveland is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement, ensuring its safety and functionality. Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam poses a moderate risk, prompting ongoing risk management measures. With a spillway type of 'Uncontrolled' and an outlet gate of 'Slide (sluice gate)', Lake Cleveland is equipped to handle any potential discharge events, safeguarding the surrounding environment and communities.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in the area can appreciate Lake Cleveland not only for its structural design and operational features but also for its role in preserving water quality, supporting wildlife habitats, and enhancing recreational opportunities. As a significant landmark in the region, Lake Cleveland stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices amidst changing climate conditions.

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.
