Summary
Spanning the TR-Schlanker Branch river, this dam has a height of 18 feet and a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 37 acre-feet. Despite not being state-regulated, this dam has a high hazard potential, making it crucial for regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.
Located in Hawk Point, this dam poses a significant risk due to its high hazard potential, although its condition is currently not rated. The last inspection conducted on the dam was in May 1979, highlighting the importance of regular assessments to mitigate any potential safety concerns. With a focus on recreation, this dam serves as a vital resource for the community and visitors alike, emphasizing the need for robust emergency action plans and risk management measures to safeguard against any unforeseen events.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to stay informed about structures like White, Smith, Austin Lake Dam to understand their impact on the surrounding environment and communities. With its unique design and historical significance, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.

Dam Data Reference
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.
