Summary
This privately owned Earth dam stands at a height of 12.5 feet and has a length of 720 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 96 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 61.5 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is to facilitate irrigation activities in the area, making it a vital resource for agriculture in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, Pca Lake Dam North has been assessed as having a moderate risk level, indicating the need for careful monitoring and maintenance. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated locks or gates. While the structure has not been inspected recently and its condition is currently unrated, it is essential for stakeholders to ensure that necessary risk management measures are in place to safeguard the dam's integrity and the surrounding community in the event of an emergency.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Pca Lake Dam North can appreciate its role in supporting local irrigation practices and its contribution to the region's agricultural activities. With its moderate risk level, there is a need for ongoing monitoring and potentially the development of an Emergency Action Plan to address any unforeseen challenges. As a key infrastructure element in the area, Pca Lake Dam North underscores the importance of responsible water resource management and the need for proactive measures to ensure its continued functionality and safety.

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.
