Summary

This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and stretches 350 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet. The dam's hazard potential is classified as low, with a fair condition assessment last conducted in 2000.

Despite not being regulated by the state, Hulman Street Dam provides essential recreational opportunities for the local community, offering a surface area of 6.68 acres and a drainage area of 0.47 square miles. While the dam has not undergone recent inspections, its emergency action plan status and risk assessment remain unknown. Climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates may find this structure intriguing due to its historical significance and potential impact on the surrounding environment.

As climate change continues to influence water resources and infrastructure, understanding the condition and management of structures like Hulman Street Dam becomes increasingly important. With its unique design and purpose, this dam represents a valuable asset for both recreation and potential flood control in the region. Further assessments and updates on its safety measures could provide valuable insights for those interested in sustainable water management practices and climate adaptation strategies.

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.
