Summary
This dam serves as a vital water resource management structure with a storage capacity of 155 acre-feet and a surface area of 34.5 acres. The dam is primarily used for recycling purposes and is not regulated by the state, although it undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, indicating the importance of proper risk management measures. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, and has not been modified in recent years. The last inspection was conducted in January 2018, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. While the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the dam's risk assessment and management are critical factors for ensuring its continued safe operation and contribution to water resource sustainability in the region.
Overall, the Gibraltar Waste Impound Recycling Pond Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area, providing storage and recycling capabilities to support environmental sustainability. With its moderate risk level and regular inspections, the dam highlights the importance of proactive risk management and maintenance practices to ensure its continued functionality for the benefit of the community and the environment.

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.
