Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a length of 640 feet, with a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet and a surface area of 4.5 acres. The dam's primary purpose and associated structures are not specified in the data, and its hazard potential is listed as "Undetermined" with a condition assessment of "Not Rated".
Although the dam's condition and emergency preparedness status are not provided, it is noted that inspections are conducted regularly with an inspection frequency of 1. Stone Dam's risk assessment, management measures, and inundation maps are also not available in the data. The dam is not classified as being under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and it does not have any designated emergency action plans or updated emergency contacts.
Overall, Stone Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its private ownership, state regulation, and the lack of comprehensive data on its condition and risk management strategies. This structure serves as a reminder of the importance of monitoring and maintaining dams to ensure safety and prevent potential hazards to nearby communities and ecosystems. Further research and analysis of Stone Dam could provide valuable insights into the complexities of managing water resources and infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
