Summary
The dam stands at 15 feet high and spans 2300 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 131 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-MUD CREEK and is managed by a private owner.
The dam is classified as having a low hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating. It features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 32 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 220 cubic feet per second. Despite not being state-regulated, the dam has not undergone a condition assessment and is currently not rated for its condition. The risk management measures and emergency action plan status for Weissinger Dam #2 are currently unknown, highlighting potential areas for improvement in terms of safety and preparedness.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Weissinger Dam #2 presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned earth dam designed for fish and wildlife conservation purposes. With its location in a rural area and limited regulatory oversight, there may be opportunities for increased monitoring and assessment to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. Further research into the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness could provide valuable insights into improving the resilience of similar structures in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
