Summary
Completed in 1963, this dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 334 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Long Branch river or stream and is under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated.
With a surface area of 25 acres and a drainage area of 50 square miles, Pleasure Hills Estates Lake Dam offers a serene and picturesque setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore. The dam's maximum storage capacity of 334 acre-feet provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, and wildlife observation. While the dam's spillway type and outlet gates are unspecified, the dam is designed with a buttress core and stands as a testament to engineering excellence.
As a vital component of the local landscape, Pleasure Hills Estates Lake Dam serves as a recreational haven for residents and visitors alike. Its strategic location on the Long Branch river ensures a steady flow of water and contributes to the overall ecosystem health of the area. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are currently undisclosed, its presence underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of climate change challenges.

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.
