Summary
Built in 1963 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam stands at a height of 29.2 feet and has a storage capacity of 995 acre-feet. With a surface area of 24 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and mitigating potential flooding in the area.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, Rocky Comfort Creek WS Str # 14 has a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam's condition assessment has not been rated, with the last inspection conducted in 2009. While the dam has not undergone modification in recent years, it is equipped with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates. The emergency action plan status, risk management measures, and inundation maps for the dam are currently not available.
Rocky Comfort Creek WS Str # 14 serves as a vital infrastructure for flood control in the region, with a focus on reducing the risk of inundation along Whetstone Creek. As water resource and climate enthusiasts monitor this dam's conditions and risk factors, there is a need for regular inspections and potential updates to the emergency action plan to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this important structure in managing water flow and protecting the surrounding areas from potential flood events.

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.
