Hawthorn Woods Country Club Wwtp Dam dam
Hawthorn Woods Country Club Wwtp Dam
Located in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois, the Hawthorn Woods Country Club Wwtp Dam, also known as the Wastewater Reclamation & Reuse Dam, serves as a crucial irrigation resource for the area. Built in 2006 by Sheaffer & Roland, Inc., this private dam stands at a height of 17 feet and spans a length of 1300 feet, providing storage capacity of 164 acre-feet. Situated on a tributary of Indian Creek, the dam supports offstream water management, with a surface area of 15 acres and a drainage area of 0.02 square miles.
Maintained and regulated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the dam boasts a low hazard potential and a high risk assessment rating. While the condition assessment is not currently available, regular inspections are carried out with a frequency of 5 years. Despite the lack of a spillway, the Hawthorn Woods Country Club Wwtp Dam plays a vital role in water resource management and climate resilience in the region. With its primary purpose being irrigation, the dam exemplifies sustainable water use practices in the face of evolving environmental challenges.
As a key feature within the water infrastructure of Lake County, Illinois, this earth dam with buttress core types showcases the importance of private sector involvement in water resource management. With its strategic location and efficient design, the Hawthorn Woods Country Club Wwtp Dam stands as a testament to the innovative solutions needed to address water scarcity and climate change impacts. Its role in reclamation and reuse underscores the necessity of adaptive measures in safeguarding water resources for future generations.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Hawthorn Woods Country Club Wwtp Dam
Where does the data for Hawthorn Woods Country Club Wwtp Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
