Summary
The pond serves as a habitat for various aquatic species and covers an area of 8 acres with a maximum storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. The dam, primarily made of earth with stone core and soil foundation, stands at a height of 13 feet and has a length of 360 feet.
With a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Huer F Pond is considered to be in good condition, although it has not been officially rated. The pond is situated along the TR-Sand Creek and serves as a valuable resource for the surrounding ecosystem. While it is not regulated by the state and does not require permitting or inspection, the pond plays a crucial role in maintaining the local biodiversity and supporting wildlife in the area.
Managed by a private owner and funded by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Huer F Pond contributes to the conservation efforts in the region and provides a peaceful retreat for nature enthusiasts. With its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the pond offers a serene environment for fish and wildlife while also serving as a recreational spot for the community. Overall, Huer F Pond stands as a testament to the importance of preserving water resources and supporting biodiversity in a changing 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.
