Summary

This Earth dam, with a height of 13 feet and a hydraulic height of 9.25 feet, is primarily used for purposes other than flood control or hydroelectric power generation. The dam has a storage capacity of 92.5 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 52.5 acre-feet and a surface area of 10 acres.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is regularly inspected every five years, with a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates. While its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified in the available data. With its location near TR-Goldens Creek, the Warren South Oxidation Pond Dam plays a crucial role in water management for the region and is owned and maintained by the local government.

Overall, Warren South Oxidation Pond Dam stands as a vital infrastructure asset for the community, offering water storage and management capabilities. While it may not be regulated by the state or federal agencies, the dam's operational and safety measures are regularly monitored to ensure its stability and functionality. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the importance of structures like the Warren South Oxidation Pond Dam in sustainable water management practices becomes increasingly evident for the surrounding area.

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.
