Summary

Managed by the local government, this picturesque lake serves primarily as a recreational hotspot for enthusiasts and visitors alike. With a dam height of 29 feet and a hydraulic height of 19 feet, the Earth-type dam completed in 1969 boasts a storage capacity of 7,500 acre-feet and a surface area of 445 acres.

The dam, with a high hazard potential and fair condition assessment, underwent modification in 1992 to enhance its structural integrity. Despite its age, Lake Camelot continues to attract outdoor enthusiasts thanks to its scenic beauty and abundant recreational opportunities. With a drainage area of 70 square miles and a maximum discharge of 3,685 cubic feet per second, this beloved water body remains a vital resource for the community.

While the dam's emergency action plan has not been updated since 2003, the risk assessment for Lake Camelot is deemed moderate. As water resource and climate enthusiasts flock to this idyllic location, it is essential to ensure the continued safety and preservation of Lake Camelot for future generations to enjoy.

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.
