Summary
Owned by the Local Government, this earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet with a length of 3375 feet, providing a storage capacity of 108 acre-feet for the surrounding area. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment score of 3.
With its primary purpose and design specified as an Earth dam with Buttress core type, Walnut Creek Wrf Holding #1 plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage in the region. Although not currently regulated or permitted by the state, the dam has undergone inspections, with the last one conducted in March 2017. The emergency action plan status and risk management measures for the dam are currently unspecified, indicating a need for further assessment and planning to ensure the safety and efficiency of this important water resource infrastructure.
Overall, Walnut Creek Wrf Holding #1 serves as a key component of water resource management in the area, providing storage and flood control benefits along the Walnut Creek. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to monitor and evaluate the condition and safety of such structures to ensure their continued functionality and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions. Further attention and investment in risk assessment and emergency preparedness are crucial to safeguarding the community and environment served by Walnut Creek Wrf Holding #1.

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.
