Summary

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. 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.
