Clair County, Illinois, was completed in 1904 and serves as a recreational hub for water enthusiasts in the area. This private earth dam, with a height of 16 feet and a length of 500 feet, creates Lake Stolberg, offering a surface area of 9 acres and a maximum storage capacity of 108 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
With a high hazard potential due to its proximity to the TRIB RICHLAND CREEK, Lake Stolberg Dam poses a moderate risk that is managed through unspecified risk management measures. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, making it crucial for emergency preparedness and response. While the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Available," the dam's last inspection in June 2020 highlighted its importance in maintaining public safety and the surrounding environment. Lake Stolberg Dam serves as a vital structure for both recreation and water resource management in the Belleville region, attracting visitors with its serene waters and scenic views.
