Summary
This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and spans 250 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. The dam impounds the waters of TR-Tebo Creek and serves various secondary purposes including fire protection, stock and small fish pond, and recreation. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam poses a significant hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating.
With a hydraulic height of 24 feet and a structural height of 26 feet, Noland Lake Dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 15 feet. The dam's drainage area covers 140 acres, with a normal storage capacity of 42 acre-feet and a surface area of 4 acres. The dam has not been rated for condition assessment, and the last inspection date is unknown. While the risk management measures and emergency action plan status remain unclear, the dam is characterized by a significant hazard potential and moderate risk level, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and assessment for water resource and climate enthusiasts.

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.
