Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet with a length of 250 feet, providing a storage capacity of 58 acre-feet. The dam, situated on the TRIB NORTH FORK INDIAN CREEK, is regulated by the IDNR and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, Crabill Pond Dam poses a moderate risk due to its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates. While the condition assessment is not available, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status remain unclear. The dam's location within Coles County adds to its significance as a water resource for the region, highlighting the importance of maintaining its structural integrity and adherence to regulatory standards for sustainable water management and climate resilience efforts.
With its picturesque setting and recreational purpose, Crabill Pond Dam serves as a vital asset for the community, offering opportunities for outdoor activities and water-based recreation. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the dam's condition, risk assessment, and regulatory oversight can contribute to proactive measures for ensuring the safety and sustainability of this essential infrastructure in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
