Summary
Built in 1982 by the Calloway Brothers, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a storage capacity of 165 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of irrigation, the dam serves the local community by providing water for agricultural activities, helping to sustain crops and support the local economy.
Despite being uncontrolled, the dam has a low hazard potential and is deemed to have a moderate risk level. The structure covers a surface area of 16 acres and is situated in a drainage area of 285 acres. Although last inspected in 2010, with a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years, the dam's condition is currently not rated. However, its risk management measures and emergency action plan status remain unknown, highlighting the need for further assessment and preparedness to ensure the safety and efficiency of the water resource.
With its strategic location and vital role in supporting irrigation activities, Calloway Farms New Irrigation Pond Dam represents a significant asset for water resource management in the region. As climate change continues to impact water availability, the maintenance and monitoring of such structures become increasingly important to ensure sustainable water use for both agricultural and community needs.

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.
