Summary
The dam is of the Earth type with a height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet. While the hazard potential is rated as low and the condition assessment is not rated, the dam has not been inspected or assessed for some time.
The dam is situated on TR-Wade Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the Kansas City District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite being privately owned, the dam is not regulated by the state and has not undergone recent inspections or maintenance. The surrounding area offers a surface area of 4 acres and a drainage area of 29 square miles, providing opportunities for outdoor activities and water recreation.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Windsor Lake Dam intriguing due to its unique design and recreational purpose. The dam serves as a focal point for outdoor enthusiasts in the area, offering a tranquil setting for various activities. However, the lack of recent inspections and assessments raises concerns about the dam's long-term stability and maintenance needs. As such, continued monitoring and attention to the dam's condition are essential to ensure the safety of both the structure and surrounding environment.

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.
