Fresh Water Lake in Saline, Illinois is a privately owned reservoir with a capacity of 1200 acre-feet primarily used for water supply.
The dam, standing at a height of 26 feet, is classified as an Earth dam and is regulated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The Mine Safety and Health Administration is responsible for inspections and enforcement at the site, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations.
Located in the St. Louis District, Fresh Water Lake is considered to have a significant hazard potential. Despite this, the condition assessment of the dam is currently listed as "Not Available," with the last inspection conducted in January 2013. Emergency action plans and risk assessments have not been updated or prepared for the site, suggesting a need for increased monitoring and management measures to mitigate potential risks.
The dam's risk management measures, inundation maps, and emergency response protocols are all lacking, indicating a potential gap in preparedness for any unforeseen events. With its critical role in water supply for the region, it is essential that proper assessments and actions are taken to ensure the safety and sustainability of Fresh Water Lake in the face of changing climate conditions and potential hazards.
