Summary
The dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 3270 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 1455 acre-feet. While the dam does not fall under state regulation, it is inspected by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, highlighting its critical role in ensuring water safety and supply for the local community.
Located in Booneville, this significant dam has a hazard potential that is closely monitored, although its condition assessment is currently not available. Despite this, the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures are not fully disclosed in the data, raising questions about preparedness and response in case of emergencies. With its last inspection date recorded in April 2015, there is a need for updated information on the dam's condition and safety protocols to address any potential risks effectively.
Fresh Water Pond serves as a vital water resource in the region, and its operation and maintenance are crucial for ensuring a sustainable water supply. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to stay informed about the status of dams like Fresh Water Pond to advocate for proper management practices and emergency preparedness. By understanding the significance of these structures and actively monitoring their condition, we can contribute to safeguarding our water resources for future generations.

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.
