Summary
Built in 1950 by USDA NRCS, this dam serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond with a primary purpose of providing fire protection, stock, and recreation. It has a maximum storage capacity of 123 acre-feet and a normal storage volume of 72 acre-feet, with a drainage area of 0.25 square miles.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Hill & Hill has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The dam is 15 feet high with a length of 750 feet and an uncontrolled spillway width of 60 feet. With a maximum discharge capacity of 580 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. Although the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," regular inspections and risk management measures are essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of this important water resource structure. With its location along the TR-PINTLALLAER river/stream, Hill & Hill contributes to the overall ecological balance and provides valuable habitat for fish and wildlife in the region.

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.
