Hartman & Tyner Mitigation Pond 1 dam
Hartman & Tyner Mitigation Pond 1
Hartman & Tyner Mitigation Pond 1, located in Oakland, Michigan, is a state-regulated earth dam completed in 1993 with a primary purpose that differs from typical water resource structures. With a dam height of 10 feet and a maximum storage capacity of 73 acre-feet, this pond serves as a key component in managing water resources in the region. The dam's low hazard potential and fair condition assessment make it a reliable asset for mitigating risks and ensuring water security in the area.
The pond, situated on a tributary to Thread Creek, covers a surface area of 10 acres and has a spillway width of 40 feet. With a maximum discharge capacity of 790 cubic feet per second, the dam is designed to handle significant water flow during peak periods. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is subject to regular state inspections, ensuring its structural integrity and compliance with regulatory standards. Its moderate risk assessment underscores the importance of ongoing risk management measures to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of the water resource infrastructure.
In the event of an emergency, the condition assessment and risk management measures of Hartman & Tyner Mitigation Pond 1 will play a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding community and ecosystem. With a designated inspection frequency of 5 years and a fair condition assessment as of October 2019, the dam's emergency action plan and risk mitigation strategies will be essential in addressing any potential threats. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring and supporting the maintenance of structures like Hartman & Tyner Mitigation Pond 1 are vital for ensuring sustainable water management practices and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Hartman & Tyner Mitigation Pond 1
Where does the data for Hartman & Tyner Mitigation Pond 1 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
