Summary
INCorporated Dam, located in Greene, Indiana, was completed in 1962 and primarily serves as a recreational area. The dam stands at a height of 20 feet and stretches 400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 33 acre-feet. Despite its recreational purpose, the dam's condition assessment in 2007 rated it as poor, with a significant hazard potential, indicating a need for maintenance and improvements to ensure its safety and functionality.
The dam is privately owned and not regulated by the state, with no inspections or enforcement in place. The last inspection was conducted in 2007, highlighting the urgent need for a comprehensive assessment and risk management plan to address its poor condition. With a drainage area of 0.3 square miles, the dam's significance in water resource management and potential impact on the surrounding area cannot be understated, making it crucial to prioritize its maintenance and upgrade to meet modern safety standards.
This data points to the importance of proactive measures to safeguard water resources and infrastructure against climate-related risks. As climate change continues to impact water resources, ensuring the resilience of dams like S.A. INCorporated Dam is crucial for sustainable water management and disaster preparedness. Efforts to improve its condition, conduct regular inspections, and implement risk management measures are essential to protect both the dam and the community it serves.

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.
