Summary

Owned privately, this earth dam with a height of 26 feet serves multiple purposes, including flood risk reduction and recreation. With a normal storage capacity of 119 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 150 acre-feet, the dam provides essential water resource management for the area.

Despite its fair condition assessment as of April 2019, Stonebrook Farm Sd Lake Dam poses a high hazard potential. Inspected every two years, the dam's emergency action plan was last revised in October 2008. The dam's location on TR-ROCKY CREEK adds to its significance in water resource management in the region. With the dam standing at 26 feet tall and stretching 540 feet in length, it plays a vital role in mitigating flood risks and ensuring water security for the surrounding communities.

Stonebrook Farm Sd Lake Dam's presence underscores the importance of proactive dam management in the face of climate change and increasing water resource challenges. With a high hazard potential, the dam's condition and risk assessment are crucial for effective risk management and emergency preparedness. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, understanding and supporting the upkeep and maintenance of structures like Stonebrook Farm Sd Lake Dam is key to ensuring the resilience of our water infrastructure in the face of a changing climate.

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.
