Summary
This private dam, standing at 21 feet in height and stretching 900 feet in length, is primarily used for purposes other than flood control or hydroelectric power generation. With a storage capacity of 456 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation for the region.
Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam has undergone inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The spillway, with a width of 35 feet, helps regulate water flow during periods of high discharge. With a moderate hazard potential rating, the dam is considered to be in satisfactory condition, although it has not been formally assessed. The surrounding area is at risk of inundation in the event of a breach, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and risk management measures.
Overall, Glaser Lake No 1 Dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions. With its strategic location on the Indian Hollow stream and its significant storage capacity, the dam plays a vital role in securing water supply and mitigating flood risks for the community. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, it is crucial to support ongoing efforts to maintain and safeguard infrastructure like Glaser Lake No 1 Dam for future generations.

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.
