Summary
This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a storage capacity of 431 acre-feet, providing a surface area of 26 acres for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy. Despite not being regulated by the state, this dam has a significant hazard potential, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure public safety.
The dam, completed in an unknown year, has not been inspected since September 1994, with its condition currently rated as "Not Rated." With no Emergency Action Plan in place, there are potential risks associated with the dam that need to be addressed to mitigate any potential threats to the surrounding community. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to advocate for the implementation of proper risk management measures and regular inspections to ensure the safety and longevity of dams like Freddies Lake Dam.
With its tranquil setting and recreational opportunities, Freddies Lake Dam serves as a valuable asset to the community. However, with its significant hazard potential and lack of recent inspections, there is a pressing need for increased oversight and maintenance to safeguard the dam and the individuals who enjoy its benefits. By staying informed and advocating for proper risk management practices, water resource and climate enthusiasts can play a vital role in preserving the integrity of structures like Freddies Lake Dam for future generations to enjoy.

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.
