Summary
Constructed in 1996 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and has a storage capacity of 112.1 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 88.1 acre-feet. The dam covers a surface area of 14 acres and serves as a habitat for various aquatic species.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Ioka #12 is considered to have a moderate risk level, indicating potential concerns that need to be addressed. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has not been rated for its condition. With no established emergency action plan or updated contact information, there is room for improvement in ensuring the safety and management of this water resource. As a vital part of the local ecosystem, it is essential to monitor and maintain Ioka #12 to mitigate any potential risks and preserve its environmental value.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ioka #12 offers a glimpse into the management and conservation of a designated fish and wildlife pond. With its unique design and purpose, this earth dam serves as a crucial habitat for local wildlife and contributes to the ecological diversity of the area. By understanding the structure and function of dams like Ioka #12, enthusiasts can appreciate the intersection of water management, environmental stewardship, and wildlife conservation in the context of climate change and resource sustainability.

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.
