Summary

Located on the TR-NORTH RIVER, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 22 feet with a hydraulic height of 21 feet and a structural height of 23 feet. The dam has a length of 750 feet and a storage capacity of 147 acre-feet, offering grade stabilization, irrigation, and wildlife habitat benefits.

With a significant hazard potential and moderate risk level, Greenly Farm Lake Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. The dam does not have a State jurisdiction or regulatory agency overseeing its operations, inspections, or enforcement. While the condition assessment is not rated, the dam has not been inspected recently, indicating a potential need for further evaluation and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality for the community. Water enthusiasts and climate advocates may find Greenly Farm Lake Dam an intriguing site for its ecological significance and potential impact on local water systems and wildlife.

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.
