Summary
The earth dam, completed in 1959, stands at a height of 19 feet and stretches 721 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet, Keeter Lake plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the region.
Despite its age, Keeter Lake continues to serve its purpose effectively, with no major issues reported in its condition assessment. Although the dam lacks a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate. The risk assessment for the reservoir indicates a high risk level, underscoring the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring to ensure the safety and stability of the structure.
Situated along TR-Boggy Creek, Keeter Lake offers a valuable water resource in an area prone to climate variability. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the significance of this reservoir in supporting irrigation needs and contributing to local water management efforts. As the primary source of water for agricultural activities in the region, Keeter Lake plays a vital role in sustaining the ecosystem and supporting the local economy.

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.
