Summary
Despite its importance, the dam's primary purpose and specific design details are not listed in the available data. The dam's hazard potential is currently undetermined, and its condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," indicating a lack of recent evaluation.
With a normal storage capacity of 107 acre-feet and a surface area of 14 acres, Cynthia Laney Dam plays a crucial role in water management in the region. However, details such as the construction year, spillway type, and inspection frequency are not provided. The dam's emergency preparedness measures, such as the existence of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated contact information, are also unknown.
While Cynthia Laney Dam's risk assessment, management measures, and overall risk characterization are not specified in the data, the dam's presence highlights the importance of monitoring and maintaining critical water infrastructure. As an essential component of the local water management system, ongoing evaluation and potential improvements to the dam's safety and efficiency are likely necessary to ensure the continued protection of the surrounding community and natural resources.

Dam Data Reference
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.
