Summary
Standing at a height of 25 feet, this earth-type dam holds a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet and covers a drainage area of 55 acres. The dam, situated on TR-Bear Creek, is under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Although not regulated by the state, Gabriel Lake Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. With a surface area of 4 acres and a normal storage capacity of 33 acre-feet, the dam provides a picturesque setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities. Despite lacking recent inspection and assessment data, the structure remains a significant feature in the Worth County landscape.
For those interested in exploring the intersection of water resources and climate, Gabriel Lake Dam offers a unique opportunity to witness the importance of sustainable water management practices in a recreational setting. With its tranquil surroundings and potential for outdoor activities, this dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human needs and environmental conservation in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
