Summary
The earth dam, standing at a height of 14 feet and spanning 500 feet in length, creates a surface area of 4 acres. Despite its modest size, the lake holds a significant hazard potential and has not been formally rated for its condition. The last inspection conducted on Taylor University Lake took place in July 1997, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and potential risk management measures.
Located within Congressional District 05 of Indiana, Taylor University Lake serves as a tranquil retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts. While the lake's primary purpose remains unspecified, its presence contributes to the local ecosystem and provides a recreational outlet for visitors. With no state jurisdiction or regulatory agency overseeing its operations, the lake stands as a testament to private ownership and environmental stewardship in the region.
As a hidden gem in the Louisville District of Indiana, Taylor University Lake offers a peaceful escape for those seeking solace in nature. Its untouched beauty and untouched potential make it a valuable asset worth preserving for future generations of water resource enthusiasts and climate advocates.

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.
