Summary

Designed by Gannett Fleming and completed in 2020, these reservoir tanks have a storage capacity of 61.4 acre-feet and cover a surface area of 2 acres. The primary purpose of these tanks is to ensure a reliable water supply for the surrounding community.

Despite their relatively small size, the Fullerton Reservoir Tanks have a high hazard potential but are currently assessed to be in satisfactory condition. Regular inspections are conducted to ensure their structural integrity and functionality, with the most recent inspection taking place in December 2021. The reservoir tanks are regulated by the Maryland Dam Safety agency, ensuring compliance with state regulations and safety standards.

Situated offstream along White Marsh Run, these reservoir tanks play a crucial role in water resource management in the region. With their strategic location and modern design, the Fullerton Reservoir Tanks are a key component of the local water supply infrastructure, contributing to the resilience and sustainability of the community in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
