Summary
Built in 1931, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 20.6 feet and serves the purpose of water storage, with a capacity of 99 acre-feet. The dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, with a low hazard potential, making it a crucial structure for water resource management in the area.
Despite being privately owned, Lakeview #1 is not regulated or inspected by the state, indicating a potential gap in oversight. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has not been modified in recent years. Its condition is currently rated as "Not Rated," highlighting the need for further assessment and risk management measures to ensure its long-term stability and safety for nearby residents and the environment.
With a drainage area of 0.38 square miles and a surface area of 11 acres, Lakeview #1 plays a significant role in water storage and management in the region. While it presents a moderate risk, efforts to assess and address potential hazards, along with regular inspections and maintenance, are essential to safeguarding this vital water resource for the community and mitigating any adverse impacts of climate change on the dam and surrounding areas.

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.
