Summary

Managed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam serves primarily for recreation purposes and water supply. With a storage capacity of 104 acre-feet and a drainage area that includes Hickory Creek-TR, the dam plays a crucial role in maintaining water resources in the region.

Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The structure spans 550 feet in length and has a maximum discharge capacity of 4,964 cubic feet per second. While the dam does not feature a spillway, its hydraulic height measures at 16 feet. The dam's proximity to Sweet Home offers opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities near the Hickory Creek-TR.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Teeter Lake No 2 Dam serves as a focal point for understanding the importance of sustainable water management practices in ensuring the region's water supply. As the dam continues to provide recreational opportunities and support water resources in Pike County, monitoring its condition and implementing risk management measures will be critical in safeguarding its long-term functionality.

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.
