Summary
The dam, with a height of 14 feet and a length of 200 feet, creates a surface area of 2 acres and is located on the TRIB WEST FORK WOOD RIVER. While the dam is not federally owned or funded, it is regulated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the condition assessment of Pin Oak Drive Pond Dam is currently not available. However, it is subject to a moderate risk assessment, with a risk score of 3 out of 5. The last inspection took place in June 2020, with a frequency of once per year. While emergency action plans and risk management measures are not specified for this dam, its location in a residential area highlights the importance of maintaining its structural integrity to protect surrounding communities from the potential impacts of dam failure. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the significance of responsibly managing and monitoring this dam to ensure the safety of both the environment and local residents.

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.
