Lakeland Country Estates Green Lake dam
Lakeland Country Estates Green Lake
Lakeland Country Estates Green Lake, nestled in Adams Township, Butler, Pennsylvania, is a private recreational haven regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. This Earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and spans 760 feet, with a storage capacity of 82.4 acre-feet. The dam, designed as a Buttress core type, serves as a vital water resource for the area, with a normal storage capacity of 68.8 acre-feet and a surface area of 6.88 acres.
Despite its fair condition assessment, Lakeland Country Estates Green Lake poses a high hazard potential, underscoring the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The dam's last inspection in October 2020 revealed a need for continued vigilance in ensuring its structural integrity. While no emergency action plan or risk assessment have been documented yet, the dam remains a significant feature in the local water management landscape.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Lakeland Country Estates Green Lake offers a glimpse into the intricate balance between human recreation and environmental stewardship. This scenic reservoir not only provides a recreational outlet for private owners but also underscores the need for ongoing regulatory oversight to mitigate potential risks and ensure sustainable water management practices. As a key feature in the watershed of Wolfe Run, this Earth dam serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness between human activity and the natural environment in shaping our water resources for future generations.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Lakeland Country Estates Green Lake
Where does the data for Lakeland Country Estates Green Lake come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the High hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
