Summary

This earth dam structure, completed in 1980, stands at a height of 50 feet and has a storage capacity of 629 acre-feet. With a surface area of 63 acres and a drainage area of 71 square miles, this pond plays a vital role in water management and conservation efforts in the region.

Despite its low hazard potential, Navajo Evap Pond 60-2 is considered to have a high risk level, requiring careful monitoring and management. The dam, serving a primary purpose of 'Other', is not currently rated for its condition assessment. However, it has undergone regular inspections, with the last one conducted in May 2012, at a frequency of every 5 years. While the spillway type is listed as 'None', the structure's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures are not specified, highlighting the need for ongoing risk assessment and preparedness.

As a critical water infrastructure in the region, Navajo Evap Pond 60-2 serves as a key component in the overall water resource management strategy. With its location along Antelope Creek and under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Department of Water Resources, this dam plays a vital role in maintaining water supply and regulating water flow in the area. The high-risk assessment underscores the importance of continued monitoring and investment in risk management measures to ensure the safety and resilience of this essential water resource.

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.
