This private earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 42 acre-feet. While the dam has a low hazard potential, its condition assessment has not been rated yet, indicating a need for further evaluation.
Situated near the TR to Bourbeuse River in Nosser Mill, Schroepfer Lake Dam serves as a recreational area spanning 3 acres with a drainage area of 90 square miles. Despite being privately owned, the dam is not regulated by the state and has not undergone recent inspections. The dam's primary purpose and structure type align with its modest height, emphasizing its role in local water resource management.
While Schroepfer Lake Dam does not have a designated emergency action plan or risk assessment in place, its low hazard potential suggests a relatively low level of concern. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is imperative to monitor the condition of dams like Schroepfer Lake to ensure the safety and functionality of these vital structures for both human and environmental well-being. Further evaluation and assessment of the dam's condition and emergency preparedness may be necessary to mitigate potential risks and safeguard the surrounding community and ecosystem.
