Summary
Spanning 230 feet in length and standing at a height of 25.1 feet, this earth dam holds a storage capacity of 16.7 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 2 acres. The dam is regulated by the Department of Natural Resources and is subject to state inspection and enforcement, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, Gleasonkamp Pond Dam has been assessed to be in poor condition as of October 2016. The last inspection in November 2020 indicated a need for maintenance and improvement to ensure the dam's structural integrity. With a drainage area of 0.04 square miles and a maximum discharge of 2 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding. Enthusiasts of water resource management and climate conservation will find Gleasonkamp Pond Dam to be a fascinating case study in dam infrastructure and the importance of regular maintenance for safe and sustainable water management practices.

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.
