Summary

2, located in Montague, California, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1946 for water supply purposes, specifically irrigation and water supply. This dam stands at a height of 14 feet, with a hydraulic height of 10.5 feet, and a length of 890 feet. It has a storage capacity of 318 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 40 acres, serving the local community's water needs. The dam is regulated by the California Department of Water Resources and is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.

Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Fiock No. 2 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. The dam is situated on Tr Shasta River and serves as a vital infrastructure for storing water and maintaining irrigation systems. With the dam being regulated by state authorities and meeting safety standards, it provides a reliable source of water for agricultural and domestic use in Siskiyou County. The dam's importance in water management underscores the need for ongoing maintenance and monitoring to ensure its continued functionality.

In the event of an emergency, the dam's owners are required to have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, although details about its preparation and adherence to guidelines are not specified in the available data. With its strategic location and role in water supply, Fiock No. 2 serves as a key component in the region's water infrastructure, highlighting the intersection of water resource management, climate resilience, and regulatory oversight. By maintaining the dam's safety and operational efficiency, stakeholders can mitigate risks and ensure a sustainable water supply for the community.

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.
