Summary

Completed in 1989, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and has a hydraulic height of 31 feet. The primary purpose of this pond is grade stabilization, but it also serves as a fire protection source, a stock pond, and a small fish pond. With a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet and a drainage area of 25.6 acres, Quentin Lewis Farm Pond covers a surface area of 2 acres and has a maximum discharge rate of 6 cubic feet per second.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Quentin Lewis Farm Pond has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. This structure does not have outlet gates and features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 10 feet. The dam is not regulated or inspected by the state, and its condition assessment is currently not rated. While no emergency action plan (EAP) has been prepared for this pond, its risk management measures remain unspecified. Overall, Quentin Lewis Farm Pond offers a valuable example of a multi-purpose water resource that enhances the local landscape and provides various benefits to its owner.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
