Summary
Built in 1993 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 105 acre-feet. With a surface area of 10 acres and a drainage area of 0.05 square miles, the pond serves as a habitat for various aquatic species and provides recreational opportunities for local residents.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, David Pearce #35 has not been rated for its condition. The uncontrolled spillway with a width of 28 feet allows for a maximum discharge of 57 cubic feet per second, ensuring the safety and stability of the structure. While there are no associated locks or outlet gates, the dam remains a valuable resource for conservation efforts in the region.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, David Pearce #35 exemplifies the importance of sustainable water resource management and provides a glimpse into the intersection of climate change adaptation and wildlife preservation. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates continue to monitor and support such initiatives, this pond serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts needed to safeguard our environment for future generations.

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.
