Summary

Built in 1910 for recreational purposes, this Earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet and has a storage capacity of 98 acre-feet. With a surface area of 22 acres and a drainage area of 1.3 square miles, the lake provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities in a scenic setting.

Despite its age, Analomink Lake has undergone modifications in 2005 and 2008 to improve its hydraulic features. The dam is inspected every two years, with the latest assessment in January 2021 deeming it to be in satisfactory condition. However, its significant hazard potential underscores the importance of ongoing risk management and emergency preparedness. While the dam currently meets guidelines, it is essential for authorities to continue monitoring and updating safety protocols to ensure the community's well-being.

As a popular recreation spot in Stroud Township, Analomink Lake serves as a vital water source for the region while offering a picturesque escape for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Its historical significance, coupled with its modern-day amenities and scenic beauty, make it a valuable asset that requires careful stewardship and maintenance to safeguard its integrity 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. 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.
