Summary
This earth dam stands 25 feet tall and spans 900 feet, with a storage capacity of 87 acre-feet and a drainage area of 128 square miles. Located in Milford, Dade County, the dam regulates the flow of water from TR-Chaney Branch and Horse Creek, benefiting agricultural activities in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, Campbell Lake Dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, prompting the need for ongoing risk management measures. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 20 feet and no outlet gates. The condition of the structure is currently not rated, and there have been no recent inspections or updates to emergency action plans. However, with its important role in irrigation and recreation, continued monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the safety and functionality of Campbell Lake Dam for years to come.
Managed by a private entity, Campbell Lake Dam represents a key piece of infrastructure in the area, providing essential water resources for agriculture while also offering opportunities for recreational activities. As climate change impacts water availability, the role of dams like Campbell Lake becomes increasingly crucial in managing water resources effectively. With a focus on risk management and regular inspections, the dam can continue to support the needs of the community and adapt to changing environmental 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.
