Jewett Wma 2, located in Aitkin, Minnesota, is a state-owned Fish and Wildlife Pond situated on DAM BROOK. The dam, constructed in 1979, is an Earth type structure with a height of 10 feet and a length of 400 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 274 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 700 acre-feet, the dam serves as a critical resource for managing water levels and supporting wildlife in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential, Jewett Wma 2 is classified as having a very high risk due to its location and the potential impact of a breach. The dam has not been rated for its condition, and the last inspection was conducted in October 2012, with an inspection frequency of 8 years. Emergency action plans have not been prepared or updated for the site, raising concerns about the readiness to respond to any unforeseen events.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor and assess the condition of Jewett Wma 2 to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and wildlife. With the risk assessment indicating a very high risk level, there is a need for increased oversight and action to mitigate any potential hazards associated with the dam. Additionally, the lack of emergency preparedness highlights the importance of developing and implementing comprehensive emergency action plans to safeguard the area in the event of a dam failure.
