Summary
Built in 1954 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 54.4 feet and serves primarily for flood risk reduction along Shaver Creek. With a storage capacity of 1828 acre-feet and a drainage area of 5 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding.
The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge capacity of 7500 cubic feet per second. Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is marked as 'Not Rated', indicating a need for further evaluation. The risk assessment for this structure is moderate, with a DSAC assigned date and risk management measures yet to be determined. With its importance in flood risk reduction and water resource management, Sixmile Creek Wid Site 02 is a key infrastructure for climate enthusiasts and water resource professionals to monitor and assess for sustainability and safety.
As Sixmile Creek Wid Site 02 continues to play a critical role in flood risk reduction and water management in the area, ongoing inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure its structural integrity and effectiveness. With a history dating back to the 1950s, this earth dam serves as a vital component of the local water infrastructure, requiring attention and monitoring to address any potential risks and hazards. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of this dam in protecting the community from flooding and managing water flow is essential for promoting sustainable water management practices and safeguarding the surrounding environment.

Dam Data Reference
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.
