Summary

This structure, with a height of 21 feet and a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet, plays a crucial role in water management in the region. While specific details about its construction and purpose are not available, its presence is essential for the local community's water supply and ecosystem.

Despite its importance, the condition assessment of Nazlini is currently labeled as "Not Available", with the hazard potential listed as "Undetermined". This raises concerns about the structure's safety and maintenance, highlighting the need for regular inspections and risk assessments. Additionally, emergency preparedness measures, such as the creation of an Emergency Action Plan, are necessary to ensure the safety of nearby residents in case of a water-related emergency.

Water and climate enthusiasts interested in Nazlini should closely monitor updates on its condition assessment, emergency preparedness measures, and risk management strategies. As a vital water resource in Apache County, Arizona, the proper maintenance and regulation of Nazlini are crucial for ensuring the sustainability of water supply and the safety of the surrounding community. Collaboration between local agencies and the Bureau of Indian Affairs is essential to address any potential risks and ensure the structure's long-term effectiveness in water management.

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.
