Summary

Completed in 1978, the dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a hydraulic height of 24 feet, with a structural height of 26 feet. The dam spans 765 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 88 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-MCINTOSH BR-LOUTRE RIVER and is managed by the St. Louis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Despite being privately owned, Feldkamp Lake Dam has a significant hazard potential and is classified as having a moderate risk level. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 12 feet, and has no outlet gates or associated locks. The dam's risk assessment rating is 3, indicating a moderate level of risk. While the dam's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," its emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified in the data provided.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Feldkamp Lake Dam intriguing due to its unique design and purpose, as well as its location on the TR-MCINTOSH BR-LOUTRE RIVER. The dam's storage capacity and drainage area of 243.2 acres contribute to its importance in the local irrigation system. With its hazard potential and risk assessment in mind, monitoring and maintenance of Feldkamp Lake Dam is crucial to ensure the safety of downstream communities and the surrounding environment.

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.
