Summary
Constructed in 1970, this earthen structure stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 600 feet in length, holding a maximum storage capacity of 105 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam has a low hazard potential and is categorized as having a moderate risk level, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance.
Although last inspected in 1994, Warren Dam remains in a satisfactory condition with no reported issues. While the dam lacks controlled spillways and outlet gates, it is equipped with uncontrolled features to manage water discharge effectively. The dam's primary purpose is irrigation, benefiting agricultural activities in the surrounding area while also providing fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond support. With its critical role in water management, Warren Dam exemplifies the importance of maintaining infrastructure for sustainable resource utilization amidst changing climate conditions.
Despite being privately owned, Warren Dam falls under state jurisdiction and regulation, ensuring compliance with safety standards and permitting requirements. Positioned within Calhoun County, the dam's strategic location and design contribute to efficient water storage and distribution, supporting the region's agricultural and environmental needs. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, Warren Dam stands as a testament to the intersection of human ingenuity and natural resource management, serving as a beacon for water resource and climate enthusiasts alike.

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.
