Summary

F-2, also known as French Lick Creek F-2, is a local government-owned dam located in Orange County, Indiana. Completed in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 41 feet with a structural height of 39 feet. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving the unnamed tributary of French Lick Creek and surrounding areas.

With a maximum storage capacity of 472 acre-feet and a normal storage of 21 acre-feet, Svcd Structure No. F-2 covers a surface area of 6 acres and has a drainage area of 1.73 square miles. Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment as of January 2016, the dam poses a high risk due to its surrounding environment. While it currently has no spillway and outlet gates, inspections are conducted every five years to ensure its continued safety and efficacy in flood control.

Overall, Svcd Structure No. F-2 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region, supported by state-regulated operations and maintenance. Its strategic location and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service make it an essential asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in sustainable infrastructure for flood risk reduction in Indiana.

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.
