Summary
Completed in 1952, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 17 feet with a hydraulic height of 14 feet. The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, providing a storage capacity of 85 acre-feet for activities such as fishing and boating on the TR WELLS CREEK river or stream.
Despite its low hazard potential, Robinson has not been rated for its condition assessment. With a maximum discharge of 950 cubic feet per second, the dam serves as a vital resource for water management in the area. While it does not have a state jurisdiction or regulatory agency overseeing it, Robinson plays a crucial role in maintaining the water levels and providing recreational opportunities for the local community.
With no associated structures and a lack of inspection history, there is a need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of Robinson. As climate change continues to impact water resources, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices to mitigate potential risks and protect the environment for future generations.

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.
