Stanley Lagoon Cell 3 dam
Stanley Lagoon Cell 3
Stanley Lagoon Cell 3, located in Mountrail, North Dakota, is a water resource managed by the local government with oversight from the North Dakota State Water Commission. This lagoon serves a primary purpose that falls under the category of "Other," and has a storage capacity of 66 acre-feet. With a surface area of 11 acres and a dam height of 10 feet, this lagoon is designed to mitigate flood risks and manage water resources in the region.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and not currently rated for its condition, Stanley Lagoon Cell 3 plays a crucial role in water management in the area. With no associated structures and no recent inspection date provided, the lagoon continues to serve its purpose while meeting state requirements for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. While lacking certain details such as construction year and condition assessment date, this facility remains a key component of the local water infrastructure in North Dakota.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the data on Stanley Lagoon Cell 3 provides insight into the management of water resources in North Dakota. With its location in Mountrail County and oversight by the North Dakota State Water Commission, this lagoon demonstrates the importance of local government involvement in water management. While more information may be needed to fully assess its condition and operational status, Stanley Lagoon Cell 3 stands as a vital part of the region's water infrastructure, contributing to flood control and resource management efforts.
Dam data reference
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 Stanley Lagoon Cell 3
Where does the data for Stanley Lagoon Cell 3 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 Low 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.
