Summary
This private earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 48 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 18 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-TATER HILL CREEK, overseen by the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite its high hazard potential, Henry Lake Dam has not been rated for condition assessment. The dam does not fall under state jurisdiction for regulation, permitting, inspection, or enforcement. While there are no associated structures or specific spillway type listed for this dam, it is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and assess the potential risks associated with this structure due to its location and purpose.
With its scenic location and diverse range of uses, Henry Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study for those interested in water resource management and climate resilience. The dam's unique combination of functions, along with its historical significance dating back to the 1970s, make it a compelling subject for further research and analysis in the field of water infrastructure and environmental stewardship.

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.
