Summary

Completed in 1998, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 72 feet and has a length of 385 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 143 acre-feet. The dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing water storage for activities at Stonewolf Golf Course.

Managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Stonewolf Golf Course Lake Dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state to ensure its safety and compliance with standards. With a high hazard potential due to its location near the Trib Little Canteen Creek and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 178 feet. Although the condition assessment is currently not available, regular inspections are conducted to monitor the dam's integrity and safety measures.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the critical role of Stonewolf Golf Course Lake Dam in providing recreational opportunities and water storage in St. Clair County, Illinois. As a significant infrastructure for the local community, the dam's design, construction, and regulatory oversight highlight the importance of sustainable water management practices in preserving natural resources and ensuring public safety in the face of changing environmental conditions.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
