Summary
With a height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 139 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in providing water for agricultural activities in the region. Situated on TR-Clear Creek, this dam is not regulated by the state and has not been inspected or rated for its condition.
Despite its high hazard potential, Fender Farms Lake Dam North has not undergone a formal assessment of its safety or emergency preparedness measures. This raises concerns about the potential risks associated with the dam and the lack of a comprehensive plan in case of emergencies. With limited information available on its design and structural features, there is a need for increased monitoring and evaluation to ensure the safety and integrity of this important water resource infrastructure.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to recognize the significance of dams like Fender Farms Lake Dam North in supporting agricultural activities and water management in the region. However, it is also essential to address the potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with these structures to safeguard the surrounding communities and the environment. Continued efforts in monitoring, assessment, and emergency preparedness are crucial to ensure the long-term sustainability and safety of such vital water resources.

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.
