Summary

Completed in 2001, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 500 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 101 acre-feet. The dam, regulated by the Iowa DNR, features an uncontrolled spillway and a low hazard potential, making it a vital structure for managing water resources in Monroe County.

With a moderate risk rating, the Kamerick Road Structure plays a crucial role in flood control and water management in the area. Located in a rural setting, the dam serves to protect downstream communities and agricultural lands from potential flooding events. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, regular inspections and maintenance ensure its continued effectiveness in safeguarding the surrounding area from water-related hazards.

As a key infrastructure for water resource management, the Kamerick Road Structure highlights the importance of sustainable development practices and climate resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions. With state-regulated permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place, the dam exemplifies a proactive approach to addressing water challenges in the region. By promoting responsible water stewardship and risk management measures, this structure plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of the local community and natural environment.

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.
