Summary
Constructed in 1963, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 134 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 83 acre-feet. The dam is primarily used for water supply purposes and is owned by the local government.
Despite its low hazard potential, the condition of Lions Community Park Lake Dam has not been officially rated. The dam has not undergone recent inspections, and there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) currently in place. However, the dam's strategic location on TR-COLLIER BRANCH river ensures a reliable water source for the residents of Princeton and surrounding areas. The dam's spillway width is listed as zero, indicating potential limitations in its flood control capabilities.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, Lions Community Park Lake Dam serves as a critical asset for water supply in the region. With its modest size and low hazard potential, the dam presents an opportunity for local authorities to enhance its safety measures and emergency preparedness protocols to ensure the continued reliability of this essential water source for the community.

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.
