Summary
The dam is privately owned and stands at a height of 20 feet, with a storage capacity of 96 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and unlisted foundation type, the dam's condition assessment has not been rated, making its overall safety unclear.
Situated on the TR-North Fork Crooked Creek, Broyles Lake Dam offers a surface area of 9 acres and a drainage area of 23 square miles. With a primary purpose of recreation, the dam provides a serene environment for outdoor activities such as fishing and boating. However, there is limited information regarding the dam's spillway type and maximum discharge capacity, raising questions about its ability to handle potential water flow events.
Although Broyles Lake Dam has not been inspected recently and lacks a formal Emergency Action Plan, its risk assessment and management measures remain undisclosed. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, there is an opportunity to advocate for improved safety measures and monitoring protocols to ensure the long-term sustainability and resilience of this recreational water infrastructure.

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.
