Summary

INC. The dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a hydraulic height of 25 feet, with a length of 760 feet. Its primary purpose is designated as "Other," serving as an earth dam with a buttress core type. The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.

The dam has a storage capacity of 194 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 130 acre-feet and a surface area of 13 acres. It is classified as uncontrolled spillway type with uncontrolled outlet gates. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in 1989, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," with no emergency action plan in place. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness measures are not specified.

Woodcraft Woodyard Pond Dam may not be under state regulation, but it is subject to state jurisdiction. The dam is privately owned and serves as a vital structure in the area. With its unique design features and moderate risk assessment, it remains a key component of water resource management in the region, requiring periodic inspections and potential updates to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
