Summary
Completed in 1968, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 33.2 feet and has a hydraulic height of 29.5 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 158 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 210 acre-feet, Pristine Lake covers a surface area of 13.4 acres and has a drainage area of 0.09 square miles.
The dam, located on the Tributary North Fork Creek, is designed as an uncontrolled spillway type with no outlet gates. Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, it undergoes inspections every three years, with the last assessment conducted in March 2019. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Pristine Lake's risk management measures and emergency preparedness plans are not explicitly listed in the data. Additionally, there is no information regarding the dam's association with the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Overall, Pristine Lake serves as a vital water resource in Tipton County, offering recreational opportunities and supporting the local ecosystem. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the complexities involved in maintaining and regulating such infrastructure to ensure the safety and sustainability of this pristine natural feature.

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.
