Summary
#106 is a privately owned earth dam primarily used for irrigation purposes. Completed in 1968, this structure stands at a height of 12 feet with a hydraulic height of 6 feet and a length of 110 feet. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 1322 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 330 acre-feet, serving a drainage area of 13.3 square miles.
With a significant hazard potential and a fair condition assessment as of the last inspection in May 2012, the dam is under state regulation and inspection by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The spillway type is listed as uncontrolled, with no outlet gates specified. The emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not provided in the data, leaving room for further investigation into the safety and preparedness of the structure in case of emergencies.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and maintenance of dams will find the Robbins Reservoir Dam At Rt. #106 to be a noteworthy case study. With its location in a critical area for irrigation and its moderate risk assessment rating, this dam serves as a focal point for discussions on infrastructure resilience and emergency response planning in the face of changing climate patterns and potential water resource challenges.

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.
