Summary

Built in 1946, this structure stands at a height of 15 feet and spans a length of 1600 feet, creating a serene surface area of 47 acres along LOTTS CREEK. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in 2004.

With a maximum storage capacity of 750 acre-feet, Anderson Pond Dam serves as a tranquil oasis for nature enthusiasts and water resource advocates alike. While the dam is not regulated by the state, it undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its safety and integrity. The surrounding area, represented by Rick W. Allen in Congress, benefits from this recreational gem within its boundaries, offering a peaceful retreat for locals and visitors to enjoy.

While Anderson Pond Dam may not have a significant impact on the region's water resources, its contribution to the local community as a recreational attraction is undeniable. As climate change continues to affect our environment, preserving such peaceful havens becomes increasingly important. With a moderate risk assessment and a focus on safety measures, Anderson Pond Dam stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of human-made structures and natural beauty in the face of evolving climate challenges.

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.
