Summary

Built in 1973 by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, this low-hazard potential structure serves various purposes in the region. Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, Nammacker Pond provides essential water resources for the area.

The pond's primary purpose and specific dam type are not listed, but its normal storage capacity of 360 acre-feet makes it a significant water source in the region. With a minimal risk assessment and a condition assessment that is not available, it remains crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the integrity and functionality of Nammacker Pond. Although the spillway type, drainage area, and maximum discharge are not specified, the pond's location and storage capacity make it an important asset in the area's water management system.

Pete Stauber, the Congressman representing the district, oversees Nammacker Pond, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Detroit District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. While the pond's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not provided, its historical significance and role in water resource management make it a focal point for enthusiasts and researchers interested in the intersection of water resources and climate change.

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.
