Wolf Lake Fish Hatchery Dams, also known as Pond 24 Dam, are located in Lawrence, Michigan, along a tributary to Campbell Creek.
These earth dams were completed in 1930 and serve primarily for purposes other than flood control or water supply. With a structural height of 11.2 feet and a hydraulic height of 9 feet, these dams have a low hazard potential and are currently in fair condition, as assessed in November 2019.
Owned by the state of Michigan and regulated by the MICHIGAN DEGLE, the Wolf Lake Fish Hatchery Dams have a storage capacity of 215 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 120 acre-feet. The dams cover a surface area of 35 acres and have a drainage area of 0.16 square miles. Despite their age, these dams have undergone regular state inspections, with the last inspection conducted in November 2019, and are in compliance with state regulatory requirements.
While the risk assessment for these dams is considered to be high, measures are in place to manage and mitigate potential risks. The surrounding community is ensured of safety through the low hazard potential of the dams and their consistent fair condition. With their historical significance and continued functionality, the Wolf Lake Fish Hatchery Dams stand as a testament to Michigan's commitment to water resource management and climate resilience.
