Summary
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is not rated, Ulrich Lake Dam is a significant structure in Carroll County that serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area.
Despite being a private dam with no state jurisdiction or regulation, Ulrich Lake Dam plays a crucial role in managing the water resources in the region. Its location in a rural area with a small surface area of 2 acres and a drainage area of 48 square miles highlights the importance of this dam in maintaining water levels for agricultural and recreational purposes. While the dam has not been inspected or rated for condition assessment, it continues to provide essential water storage and management services for the local community.
Owned and operated by a private entity, Ulrich Lake Dam serves as a key infrastructure for water resource management in the area. With a maximum storage capacity of 27 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 17 acre-feet, this Earth-type dam plays a critical role in flood control and irrigation for the region. Despite its low hazard potential and lack of a rated condition assessment, Ulrich Lake Dam remains a vital asset for water management and conservation efforts in Carroll County, Missouri.

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.
