Summary

The primary purpose of this structure is to serve as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, with additional functions including Fire Protection, Stock, or Small Fish Pond, and Recreation. The dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a length of 550 feet, providing a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 32 acre-feet.

Situated on TR-BEAR CREEK, Pasco Davis Lake offers a habitat for fish and wildlife while also serving as a recreational area. The dam has a low hazard potential and is classified as having a moderate risk level. Despite not being state regulated or monitored, the structure remains in an unrated condition assessment, indicating a lack of recent inspection data. With a spillway type of Uncontrolled and a spillway width of 48 feet, the lake poses minimal risk to surrounding areas.

Although Pasco Davis Lake is not under the jurisdiction of a state regulatory agency and lacks a formal Emergency Action Plan, its contribution to wildlife conservation and recreational opportunities make it a valuable resource for the community. The moderate risk level suggests a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and sustainability of the dam for future generations of water resource and climate enthusiasts 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.
