Summary
The dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 193 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 120 acre-feet. Located in DeKalb County near the city of Maysville, the dam is situated on the TR to West Fork Lost Creek, providing a surface area of 12 acres for recreational activities.
The dam's hazard potential is rated as high, although its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated." As of the latest data update in May 2018, the dam had not undergone a formal inspection and its emergency action plan status was not specified. The dam does not fall under state regulation or jurisdiction, with no state permitting, inspection, or enforcement activities reported.
Despite the lack of recent assessments and regulatory oversight, Redman Lake Dam remains a popular spot for recreational activities in the area. Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the dam's history, design, and potential risks may find its location and structural details intriguing for further research and exploration.

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.
