Summary

This offstream Earth dam, completed in 1991, stands at a height of 30 feet with a capacity of 137 acre-feet. The pond covers an area of 8 acres and serves the surrounding area with its high hazard potential but satisfactory condition assessment.

Managed by a Public Utility owner type, the state-regulated San Vicente Storage Pond 2 undergoes regular inspections and enforcement, ensuring its safety and functionality. The dam's high hazard potential necessitates a robust emergency action plan, although specific details on preparedness measures are not provided in the data. With a history of meeting regulatory guidelines and a design focused on water supply, this structure plays a crucial role in water management in San Diego County, California.

Despite its relatively small size and drainage area, San Vicente Storage Pond 2 contributes significantly to water supply and irrigation needs in the region. With a noteworthy hydraulic height of 27 feet and a location offstream, this Earth dam is a key component of the water infrastructure in the area. As climate change impacts water resources, structures like San Vicente Storage Pond 2 become even more critical for ensuring sustainable water management practices in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
