Summary
Completed in 1963, this structure stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet. Situated along the Hopf Branch river, the dam plays a vital role in providing recreational opportunities for the local community in East End.
Despite its low hazard potential and current "Not Rated" condition assessment, Mashburn Lake No 2 Dam has not been subject to state regulation, inspection, or enforcement. The dam, with a maximum discharge capacity of 345 cfs, continues to serve its purpose without any major modifications since its completion. With its serene surroundings and ample storage capacity, the dam offers a peaceful retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various outdoor activities.
While Mashburn Lake No 2 Dam may not be subject to state oversight, its significance in providing recreational opportunities and contributing to the local ecosystem cannot be overlooked. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding the role of such structures in maintaining ecological balance becomes increasingly important for enthusiasts and policymakers alike.

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.
