Summary
With a storage capacity of 300 acre-feet and a surface area of 16 acres, this dam serves a primary purpose that is not specified in the data. The dam has an uncontrolled spillway type and outlet gates, making it a low-hazard structure with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Although the dam is not state-regulated or permitted, it undergoes regular state inspections with a frequency of 5 years to ensure its safety and integrity. The condition of Duck Pond Dam #2 is currently not rated, but it is categorized as having a moderate risk level. The emergency action plan (EAP) status, inundation maps, and risk management measures for this dam are not specified in the data, indicating potential areas for improvement in emergency preparedness and response.
Overall, Duck Pond Dam #2 presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the complexities and considerations involved in managing private dams for water storage and flood control. The data highlights the importance of regular inspections, emergency planning, and risk assessment in ensuring the safety and resilience of such structures in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
