Summary
Designed by Speaker & King, this dam stands at a height of 27.5 feet and has a length of 760 feet, providing a storage capacity of 191.3 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 0.46 square miles and a maximum discharge of 1464 cubic feet per second, Gs Dd No D-64 plays a crucial role in managing water flow and mitigating flood risks in the region.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Gs Dd No D-64 is considered to have a moderate risk level. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it has not undergone any recent inspections or condition assessments. Additionally, there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and it is unclear whether the dam meets established guidelines for emergency preparedness. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the risk management measures and potential updates for Gs Dd No D-64 is essential to ensure the safety and resilience of the surrounding community in the face of changing environmental conditions.
As part of the Rock Island District, Gs Dd No D-64 is not associated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and does not receive federal funding or oversight. However, its strategic location on the Delaware River-TR stream, coupled with its significant storage capacity and flood risk reduction capabilities, highlights the importance of local government-led infrastructure in safeguarding water resources and enhancing climate resilience. Monitoring the condition and risk assessment of Gs Dd No D-64 will be critical for water resource and climate enthusiasts to support informed decision-making and proactive measures for sustainable water management in the future.

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.
