Summary
This 30-foot high dam on the TR-BOURBEUSE RIVER has a normal storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 80 acre-feet. With a surface area of 5 acres and a drainage area of 89 square miles, this dam poses a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment.
Despite being unregulated by the state and lacking inspections and enforcement, Frericks Sect-34 Lake Dam serves as a crucial structure for water resource management in the area. Its buttrss core type and unkown foundation add to its unique design characteristics. The dam's associated structures, inspection frequency, and emergency preparedness details are currently not listed, but its significance in maintaining water levels and mitigating flood risks in the region cannot be understated. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Frericks Sect-34 Lake Dam stands as an intriguing example of a privately owned dam contributing to the local ecosystem's hydrological balance.

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.
