Summary

Built in 1958, this earth dam has a hydraulic height of 9 feet and a structural height of 11 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 77 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 45 acre-feet, making it essential for water resource management in the area.

Despite its low hazard potential, Hazerig Small Pond Dam plays a crucial role in providing water for recreation and agricultural activities in the region. The dam, which is not rated for its condition assessment, also contributes to the overall ecological balance of the area by supporting local wildlife habitats. With a maximum discharge capacity of 88 cubic feet per second, the dam ensures controlled water release during periods of excess flow, helping to prevent flooding and protect downstream communities.

Operated by private owners, Hazerig Small Pond Dam is not regulated by the state or federal agencies. While its emergency action plan and risk assessment measures are not specified, the dam remains a valuable asset for the community, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate adaptation efforts in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
