Summary
Standing at a height of 24.3 feet, this earth dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 215 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Mountain Run river, Hazel Lake Dam offers a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.
Although the hazard potential of Hazel Lake Dam is currently labeled as undetermined, it has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite this, the dam is regularly inspected with a frequency of once per year. Emergency action plans, risk assessments, and other management measures are not documented, indicating a potential area for improvement in ensuring the safety and security of the dam and surrounding areas.
Owned and operated by a private entity, Hazel Lake Dam offers a valuable recreational resource for the community. With its picturesque location and significant storage capacity, the dam serves as a focal point for outdoor activities and water-related interests. As efforts continue to monitor and assess the dam's condition and potential risks, Hazel Lake Dam remains a vital part of the local landscape for water enthusiasts to explore and enjoy.

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.
