Summary
Standing at a height of 11 feet and a length of 600 feet, the dam provides a storage capacity of 250 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 100 acre-feet. The dam poses a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.
Despite being state-regulated and permitted, Crook Dam has not been inspected recently and lacks emergency action plans and risk assessments. The dam's purpose and associated structures are not specified in the data, but it serves as a vital resource for water storage and management in the region. With a maximum discharge of 1950 cfs, the dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water supply for the surrounding area.
Situated within the St. Paul District of the USACE, Crook Dam's condition and safety require further assessment and monitoring to ensure its continued functionality and resilience in the face of changing climatic conditions and water resource demands. As a valuable infrastructure asset with historical significance, efforts to enhance its regulatory compliance, maintenance, and emergency preparedness are essential for sustainable water resource management in the region.

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.
