Summary
This private earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 116 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, and recreational activities, making it an important resource for the local community.
Despite its significant role in the area, Trager Lake Dam East has a high hazard potential and is currently not rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not been inspected recently, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality. With a drainage area of 300 acres and a surface area of 12 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region and protecting against potential hazards.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the status of dams like Trager Lake Dam East is essential for understanding the potential risks and benefits they provide to the environment and local communities. By promoting responsible management practices and investing in maintenance and inspection protocols, we can ensure the safety and sustainability of critical water infrastructure 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.
