Summary
Built in 1982 by designer Parker, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and spans a length of 1020 feet. With a storage capacity of 432 acre-feet, the dam plays a vital role in storing water from Mill Branch for agricultural use.
Despite being privately owned, the Parker Irrigation Pond Dam is subject to state inspection to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with regulations. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is considered to be in good condition, although it is not currently rated. The surrounding area benefits from the reservoir created by the dam, providing water for irrigation and contributing to the local ecosystem.
As a part of the Charleston District, the Parker Irrigation Pond Dam is a significant feature in the water resource management of the region. With its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam serves as a reliable source of water for agricultural activities in the area. Despite its low hazard potential, regular inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure the continued safety and efficiency of this important water infrastructure.

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.
