Summary

The dam, constructed as an earth-type structure with a buttress core, stands at a height of 27 feet and has a storage capacity of 101 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-East Branch-Crawford Creek, the dam serves as a vital resource for water supply, recreation, and wildlife habitat in the area.

Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, the Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam poses a high hazard potential due to its location and storage capacity. The dam's condition assessment is currently rated as "Not Rated," and there is no established Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor the maintenance and inspection of such critical infrastructure to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam for both human and ecological needs.

With its picturesque surroundings and essential role in providing water for various purposes, Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam stands as a reminder of the delicate balance between human development and environmental conservation. As advocates for sustainable water management practices, it is crucial to support efforts to maintain and improve the resilience of dams like Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam to address the challenges posed by climate change and increasing water demands. By staying informed and engaged in the preservation of our water resources, we can work towards a more secure and sustainable future for all.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
