Summary
This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet, with a normal storage capacity of 41 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-Medicine Creek and offers a surface area of 5 acres for various outdoor activities.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, Hall Lake Dam has not undergone a formal condition assessment and is currently rated as "Not Rated." The dam does not have a designated emergency action plan or inundation maps prepared, which may raise concerns for safety and risk management. While the dam does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to stay informed about the condition and management of this recreational water source.
With its picturesque location and recreational opportunities, Hall Lake Dam provides a tranquil setting for water enthusiasts to enjoy. However, the lack of formal assessments and emergency preparedness measures raises potential safety concerns that warrant attention from both local authorities and visitors. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is essential for dam owners and regulators to prioritize safety measures and risk management strategies to ensure the sustainable use of this valuable water source for future generations.

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.
