Summary

With a dam height of 10 feet and a length of 3430 feet, this earth dam boasts a normal storage capacity of 96.2 acre-feet and a total storage of 120 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Washington Creek, this low hazard potential dam features an uncontrolled spillway and covers a surface area of 120 acres within a small drainage area of 0.03 square miles.

Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, Ioka #14 has not been officially rated for its current condition, emergency action plan preparedness, or inundation mapping. While the dam presents no immediate threat, it lacks recent inspection records and updates on emergency contacts, potentially indicating a need for further evaluation and management measures to ensure its long-term safety and environmental impact. With its primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife habitats, Ioka #14 highlights the importance of balancing ecological concerns with dam infrastructure maintenance in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource management challenges.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
