Summary
With a height of 24 feet and a storage capacity of 167 acre-feet, the dam serves as a vital resource for the surrounding area. The dam is situated on the TR-North Prong Beaverdam Creek and covers a surface area of 13 acres, with a drainage area of 365 square miles.
Despite its significant purpose, Lake Hogan Dam has a high hazard potential and is currently not rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not undergone recent inspections, and there is no emergency action plan in place. While the dam plays a crucial role in providing water resources for the local community, there are potential risks associated with its structural integrity that need to be addressed.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, Lake Hogan Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures to ensure the safety and sustainability of water sources for future generations. With its unique design as an earth dam with buttress core types, Lake Hogan Dam stands as a testament to the balance between human needs and environmental conservation in the face of a changing climate.

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.
