Summary
Built in 1969, this private earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 111 acre-feet. Although it is not regulated by the state, the dam has a low hazard potential and has not been assessed for condition.
With a surface area of 8 acres and a drainage area of 190 square miles, Englert Lake Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in Livingston County. While it has not undergone recent inspections or condition assessments, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure for the local community, protecting against debris and aiding in irrigation activities. As a significant structure in the area, it contributes to the overall water management system in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Englert Lake Dam provides a fascinating case study of a private earth dam that serves multiple purposes in a rural setting. Its construction in 1969 and continued operation highlight the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures to ensure their functionality and safety. As a low-hazard dam, it underscores the need for ongoing risk assessments and emergency preparedness measures to mitigate potential threats and ensure the long-term sustainability of water resources in the area.

Dam Data Reference
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.
