Summary
Built in 1970 by the USDA NRCS, this dam on White Women Creek-TR serves as a vital part of the region's water resource management system. Standing at 31 feet high, with a hydraulic height of 24 feet and a length of 3620 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 1100 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 3500 cubic feet per second.
Despite its low hazard potential and not yet rated condition assessment, Friend Community Dd plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. With its buttress core design and state-regulated operations, the dam reflects a commitment to sustainable water management practices. While there are no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam's primary purpose of flood risk reduction aligns with the community's need for resilience in the face of changing climate patterns. As climate enthusiasts, it is essential to monitor and support initiatives like the Friend Community Dd to ensure the continued safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.

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.
