Summary
Managed by the DOI BIA, this dam stands at 7 feet high with a low hazard potential. Despite not being state regulated or inspected, it is permitted and enforced by the state, showcasing a strong commitment to water resource management in the area.
Although lacking specific details on its structural features or purposes, Lake serves as a vital water source in the region. The absence of information on its condition assessment or emergency preparedness highlights a potential area for improvement in ensuring the safety and sustainability of this water resource. Given its location within the Detroit District, Lake plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and community, warranting further attention and monitoring for its long-term preservation.
With a serene location and historical significance, Lake presents an opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate and study the interactions between human infrastructure and natural environments. As efforts continue to enhance the management and oversight of this dam, there is potential for increased engagement and collaboration to ensure the resilience and adaptability of Lake in the face of changing climate conditions. By recognizing the importance of this water resource and implementing proactive measures, stakeholders can contribute to the sustainable stewardship of Lake for generations to come.

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.
