Summary
Standing at a height of 25 feet, this earth dam has a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and a surface area of 3 acres. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is not currently rated for its condition and has not undergone recent inspections.
The Null Lake Dam, situated along TR-Turkey Creek, serves as a vital resource in the region for recreational activities and water management. Managed by private owners, the dam has not been regulated or inspected by state agencies, indicating a lack of oversight. With its primary function being fire protection, the dam also plays a role in supporting local ecosystems and providing water for stock and small fish ponds.
While the Null Lake Dam may not currently pose a significant risk, it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor its condition and ensure that proper maintenance and inspections are conducted to prevent any potential hazards in the future. As a key feature in the local landscape, this earth dam serves multiple purposes and contributes to the overall environmental health of the area.

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.
