Summary
It was built in 1968 for recreational purposes, specifically for the enjoyment of visitors to TR Persimmon Creek. The dam has a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 16 feet, with a length of 360 feet. It has a normal storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet.
Despite being a low hazard potential structure, H A Vaughan Jr has not been rated for its condition assessment. It has not undergone any recent inspections or assessments, and there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. The dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of any state regulatory agency and does not have any associated federal agencies for funding, design, construction, or oversight. It is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the condition of dams like H A Vaughan Jr to ensure their safety and proper maintenance for both recreational use and environmental protection.

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.
