Summary

This earth dam has a height of 22 feet and a storage capacity of 354 acre-feet, providing much-needed water for the surrounding community. Despite being privately owned, the dam is maintained and inspected regularly to ensure its structural integrity.

The primary purpose of Stabilization Pond Dam is listed as "Other," indicating its versatile role in water management. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam plays a crucial role in mitigating potential flooding and ensuring water security for the region. Its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates help manage water levels and prevent overflow during periods of heavy rainfall, demonstrating the dam's importance in climate resilience efforts.

Although the condition assessment of Stabilization Pond Dam is currently listed as "Not Rated," its regular inspections and moderate risk management measures signify a commitment to maintaining its safety and functionality. As climate change continues to impact water resources, infrastructure like this dam plays a vital role in safeguarding communities against the threats of flooding and water scarcity. Stabilization Pond Dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of a changing climate.

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.
