Summary

This private dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet, providing water for a surface area of 3 acres. Situated on the TR-Lamine River, the dam serves as a scenic spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities.

With a low hazard potential and a current condition assessment of "Not Rated," Fenical Lake Dam offers a safe environment for visitors to explore the surrounding area. Although the dam is not regulated by the state, it plays a crucial role in providing water storage and recreational opportunities for the local community. Despite lacking detailed information on inspections and emergency preparedness, the dam continues to be a valuable asset in the region.

As a part of the Kansas City District, Fenical Lake Dam is a testament to the importance of maintaining and managing water resources for both recreational and environmental purposes. While the dam may not have a spillway or outlet gates, its presence adds to the beauty and functionality of the TR-Lamine River. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Fenical Lake Dam serves as a reminder of the significance of sustainable water management practices in ensuring the well-being of local communities and ecosystems.

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.
