Summary
This privately owned earth dam structure was completed in 1978 and has a maximum storage capacity of 91 acre-feet. With a hydraulic height of 14 feet and a structural height of 19 feet, the pond plays a crucial role in flood control and water management for the region.
Situated along TR-Bennetts Creek, Rascoe Farm Pond has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, the pond serves as a valuable asset in the local ecosystem, providing a habitat for wildlife and recreational opportunities for the community. With a normal storage capacity of 67 acre-feet, the pond contributes to water conservation efforts in the area.
Although Rascoe Farm Pond may not have a designated emergency action plan or updated contact information, its presence as a water resource in the Mobile District is essential for maintaining ecological balance and supporting the needs of the surrounding community. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the preservation and upkeep of structures like Rascoe Farm Pond are crucial for ensuring sustainable water management practices 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.
