Summary
Built in 1950, this rockfill dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-Shoal Creek and covers a surface area of 6 acres, with a drainage area of 28 square miles.
Despite its importance, Phantom Lake Dam has a high hazard potential and is currently not rated in terms of its condition assessment. The dam has not undergone recent inspections or had an emergency action plan prepared. With its primary purpose being fire protection, it is crucial for stakeholders to prioritize the maintenance and safety of Phantom Lake Dam to ensure its continued functionality and protection of the surrounding area.
As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, it is imperative to monitor the condition of Phantom Lake Dam and advocate for necessary improvements to mitigate risks and ensure the safety of the community. By staying informed and involved in the management of this important structure, we can contribute to the sustainable use of water resources and help protect the environment 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.
