Summary
Built in 1989, this earth dam structure stands at a height of 32 feet with a length of 234 feet, providing a storage capacity of 19 acre-feet. Located on TR-Hazel Creek, this pond serves as a valuable asset for the community of Connellville, offering low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment.
Managed by the Kansas City District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Gary Lindquist Farm Pond is designed with stone core types and soil foundations. With a surface area of 10 acres and a drainage area of 396.8 acres, this pond has a maximum discharge rate of 7 cubic feet per second and an uncontrolled spillway width of 10 feet. While the condition assessment is not rated and emergency action plans are not prepared, the pond's risk management measures are under moderate scrutiny, ensuring the safety and functionality of the dam structure for the surrounding area.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the ecological significance of the Gary Lindquist Farm Pond, as it not only provides essential water storage for fire protection and agricultural use but also supports local wildlife and fisheries. With its strategic location on Hazel Creek, this pond plays a crucial role in enhancing the environmental resilience of the region and showcases the importance of sustainable water management practices in rural communities like Connellville.

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.
