Summary
Built in 1994, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 20 feet and a hydraulic height of 15 feet, with a length of 740 feet. The dam provides a maximum storage capacity of 187 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 16.5 acres, serving a drainage area of 0.39 square miles.
With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment, Country Lake Estates poses a moderate risk level for potential incidents. The dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and has no outlet gates. Regular inspections are conducted, with the last assessment taking place in December 2018. The dam is maintained in compliance with state regulations, including permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements, ensuring the safety and integrity of the structure for both water resource management and climate resilience.
Overall, Country Lake Estates is a well-maintained private dam that plays a crucial role in water storage and management in the region. With its moderate risk level and satisfactory condition, the dam continues to serve its purpose effectively while also meeting state regulatory standards for safety and compliance. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the importance of infrastructure like Country Lake Estates in supporting sustainable water management practices and enhancing resilience in the face of changing climatic conditions.

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.
