Summary
This earth dam, standing at 25 feet in height, has a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 3 acres. It is situated on TR-Davis Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the Kansas City District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite its low hazard potential, Zander Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. With no recent inspection data available, the emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures for the dam remain unknown. It is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to stay informed about the maintenance and safety of such structures to ensure the protection of surrounding communities and ecosystems.
As a key part of the local water management system, Zander Lake Dam serves as a vital resource for the Aullville area. Its role in fire protection, recreational activities, and fish stocking highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring its structural integrity. Continued oversight and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to prevent potential risks and ensure the long-term sustainability of this dam and its associated water resources.

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.
