With a dam height of 19.9 feet and a significant hazard potential, it sits on the coordinates 39.30970062 latitude and -86.77705229 longitude, within Owen County. Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, the dam's last inspection dates back to November 1978, raising concerns about its current condition and safety measures.
The dam, constructed of earth materials, lacks detailed information on its volume, storage capacity, and drainage area. It also does not have a spillway or outlet gates specified in the data, potentially impacting its ability to control water flow effectively. While the dam's exact completion year remains unknown, its age and lack of recent inspections warrant increased attention to ensure its structural integrity and emergency preparedness in case of any unforeseen incidents.
Enthusiasts in water resource management and climate change should monitor Duling Lake Dam closely, advocating for updated inspections, risk assessments, and potential renovations to mitigate any safety risks associated with the dam. As a significant hazard potential structure with no recent condition rating, it is crucial to prioritize the maintenance and regulatory oversight of this dam to safeguard both the surrounding environment and the local community's recreational activities.
