Summary
Constructed in 1993 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at 16 feet tall and stretches 1117 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 9 acres, this dam serves as a habitat for various aquatic species in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, David Pearce #36 has not been rated for its current condition. With an uncontrolled spillway and a maximum discharge of 58 cubic feet per second, this dam provides a peaceful and sustainable environment for wildlife while also ensuring minimal environmental impact. The dam's primary purpose as a fish and wildlife pond showcases the importance of water resource management and the preservation of natural habitats in the face of climate change.
Owned by a private entity and not regulated by the state, David Pearce #36 stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the local community in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. With its serene surroundings and crucial role in supporting biodiversity, this dam serves as a model for sustainable water resource management and climate resilience 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.
