Summary
This earth dam stands at 14 feet high and covers a surface area of 1.67 acres with a drainage area of 0.05 acres. Despite being classified as having a significant hazard potential, the dam's condition has not been rated and has not undergone inspection since September 1987.
The Ashbury Park Lake Dam, while not state-regulated, plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities for the local community. The dam's purpose is solely for recreation, and it does not have a spillway system or outlet gates. With its location along a river or stream unspecified, the dam serves as a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area to appreciate and enjoy.
Although lacking recent inspection data and maintenance information, the Ashbury Park Lake Dam remains a notable feature in Congressional District 04, Indiana. Its historical significance and potential risks make it an intriguing subject for further study and monitoring by those interested in water resource management and climate resilience.

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.
