Summary

Standing at a height of 7 feet and stretching over 15,000 feet in length, Har3 serves as a tailings dam with a storage capacity of over 10,000 acre-feet. The dam is situated on an unnamed pond and is designated for the purpose of tailings containment, making it a crucial structure for water resource management in the area.

Despite its importance, Har3's hazard potential remains undetermined, and its condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated." The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are also lacking detailed information. With its location in a region susceptible to climate variability and extreme weather events, the need for comprehensive monitoring and maintenance of Har3 is crucial to ensure the safety and sustainability of the surrounding environment and water resources.

As a part of the Jacksonville District under the ownership of a private entity, Har3 stands as a significant structure in the local water infrastructure. With its storage capacity and purpose for tailings containment, the dam plays a vital role in water resource management in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is imperative to stay informed about the condition and regulatory status of dams like Har3 to ensure the protection of water resources and the surrounding ecosystem.

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.
