Summary
2, located in Pike, Indiana, is a locally-owned earth dam standing at a height of 19 feet and stretching 980 feet in length. This dam provides crucial water storage of 1591 acre-feet, with a normal storage capacity of 253 acre-feet and a surface area of 87.5 acres. The dam serves a drainage area of 3.25 square miles and has a maximum discharge capacity of 2700 cubic feet per second.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Pride's Creek Dam No. 2 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The last inspection conducted on the dam dates back to January 1990, with no subsequent follow-ups reported. While it currently meets guidelines for emergency action plans, there is room for improvement in terms of risk assessment and management measures. This dam serves as a critical infrastructure for water resource management in the region, making it essential for stakeholders and enthusiasts to stay informed on its maintenance and inspection status to ensure its continued functionality in the face of climate challenges.

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.
