Summary

This private earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a storage capacity of 531 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 193 acre-feet. The dam covers a surface area of 32 acres and plays a key role in recreational activities in the area.

Despite being privately owned, Lake Concord Dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam is primarily used for debris control but also supports recreational purposes. With a drainage area of 900 acres, the dam serves as an important structure for managing water resources in the region. The dam's location in Plattsburg makes it a key feature in the local landscape, offering both functionality and scenic beauty to visitors.

While not under state regulation or jurisdiction, Lake Concord Dam contributes to the overall water management efforts in the area. With its strategic position and significant storage capacity, the dam ensures a reliable water supply for various activities and contributes to the conservation of the surrounding environment. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Lake Concord Dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable infrastructure in maintaining a balanced ecosystem.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
