Summary
Completed in 1978 by ITT Rayonier, this earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet and stretches 5,300 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 1,350 acre-feet. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition.
With a primary purpose listed as "Other," the Itt Rayonier Aeration Basin 2 B Dam serves a unique function within the water resource infrastructure. Operating without state permitting or enforcement, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, highlighting the need for further evaluation and management measures. While it may have a moderate risk assessment level, its hazard potential is categorized as low, providing some reassurance to nearby residents and stakeholders.
Located in a region with unknown river or stream affiliation, the Itt Rayonier Aeration Basin 2 B Dam's design and construction details suggest a stable and reliable structure despite its lack of recent inspection updates. As a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts, this privately owned dam offers a glimpse into the diversity and complexity of our nation's water infrastructure system, showcasing the importance of ongoing monitoring and assessment for the safety and sustainability of our water resources.

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.
