Summary
Completed in 2010 by the US Army Corps of Engineers, this structure serves multiple purposes, including flood risk reduction. With a dam height of 54 feet and a storage capacity of 4850 acre-feet, the site plays a significant role in managing water levels along the SHIPP CREEK.
As a critical infrastructure with a significant hazard potential, Flood Water Retarding Structure Site 35 is regularly monitored and maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The agency actively manages dam-related flood risks by implementing risk management measures, conducting inspections, and updating emergency action plans. In the event of severe weather events or increased water inflows, the dam releases water to maintain structural integrity and prevent flooding downstream. Collaboration with local emergency managers and the public is essential in raising awareness and ensuring readiness for any potential emergencies.
Overall, Flood Water Retarding Structure Site 35 is a vital component of flood control in the region, with ongoing efforts to mitigate risks and ensure the safety of surrounding communities. The US Army Corps of Engineers continues to work towards improving the dam's resilience and response capabilities, highlighting the importance of proactive risk management and emergency preparedness in water resource and climate management.

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.
