Summary

This private dam, standing at 14 feet in height, provides a storage capacity of 126 acre-feet for various recreational activities. Despite its modest size, the dam is state-regulated and maintained by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, ensuring its safety and compliance with necessary standards.

Owned by a private entity, Condrey Dam primarily serves the purpose of recreation, offering opportunities for boating, fishing, and other water-based activities. While the dam's hazard potential is currently undetermined and its condition remains unrated, the presence of state regulations and inspections ensures its ongoing safety and functionality. With its serene location and potential for outdoor enjoyment, Condrey Dam stands as a valuable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the possibilities offered by Condrey Dam, its role in providing recreational opportunities and supporting the local ecosystem becomes increasingly apparent. With a focus on safety and compliance, the state-regulated dam continues to be a source of enjoyment and relaxation for visitors seeking to connect with nature and engage in water-based activities. As efforts to assess and manage potential risks associated with the dam progress, the significance of Condrey Dam as a vital water resource and recreational hub in the region becomes more pronounced.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
