Summary
Constructed in 1979 for the primary purpose of tailings storage, this earth dam reaches a height of 25 feet and spans an impressive length of 18,200 feet. With a storage capacity of 8,100 acre-feet and a surface area of 324 acres, Phosphoria P-2 plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and safeguarding against potential hazards.
Managed by a private entity and regulated by the state, Phosphoria P-2 is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its structural integrity and overall safety. Classified as having a significant hazard potential, this dam serves as a critical component of the regional water infrastructure, supporting agriculture, industry, and environmental conservation efforts in the surrounding area. While its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," ongoing risk assessment and management measures are likely in place to mitigate any potential risks associated with the dam.
In the event of an emergency, the presence of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated contact information are crucial for effective response and coordination. While details regarding the EAP status and risk management measures for Phosphoria P-2 are currently unavailable, the dam's strategic location and operational history underscore the importance of proactive measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of this essential water resource infrastructure.

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.
