Summary

Built in 1962, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and has a storage capacity of 136 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Aukum View is to supply water for irrigation and domestic use, serving as a vital resource for the surrounding area.

Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Aukum View is regulated by the California Department of Water Resources for safety and compliance. Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, the dam undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and emergency preparedness. With a drainage area of 0.27 square miles, Aukum View plays a crucial role in managing water resources in El Dorado County.

Situated within the San Francisco District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Aukum View is a key component of the local water supply infrastructure. With its modest size and functional design, this dam exemplifies the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of climate change and increasing demand. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Aukum View serves as a noteworthy example of how essential infrastructure can support communities while protecting the environment.

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.
