Summary
Completed in 2002, this earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a storage capacity of 189.2 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk rating, Dd No I-3 plays a crucial role in managing floodwaters from the Hinton Creek-TR stream.
This dam, designed by AG Engineering Associates, has not been rated for its condition assessment and has not undergone any recent inspections. With a spillway width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 377 cubic feet per second, Dd No I-3 is equipped to handle moderate flooding events. While it has not been modified in recent years, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure for flood control in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential, the ongoing monitoring and maintenance of Dd No I-3 are essential to ensure its effectiveness in flood risk reduction. As a key component of the local flood control system, this dam provides critical protection to the surrounding community and helps to mitigate the impact of extreme weather events on the region's water resources and climate.

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.
