Summary
This structure spans 336 feet in length, with a height of 21.1 feet and a storage capacity of 82.4 acre-feet. The dam sits on the TR-SUCARNOOCHEE RIVER and serves as a recreational area in addition to its primary function of supporting fish and wildlife habitats.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Hibbard #1 poses a moderate risk due to its condition being labeled as "Not Rated." The dam has not been inspected since its completion in 1990, raising concerns about its current state and the need for a thorough assessment. While the structure does not fall under the jurisdiction of any state regulatory agency, its location on a river and proximity to a drainage area of 0.12 square miles highlight the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Hibbard #1 serves as an example of the vital role dams play in supporting ecological diversity and recreational activities. As discussions around water management and conservation continue to evolve, understanding the risks and management measures associated with structures like Hibbard #1 is crucial in safeguarding our natural resources and ensuring sustainable practices for future generations.

Dam Data Reference
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.
