Summary
Built in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a storage capacity of 330 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 205 acre-feet and a surface area of 28 acres, the dam serves the community of Greentop and the surrounding area by providing essential water resources while also offering recreational opportunities.
Despite its important role in water supply and recreation, Queen City Reservoir Dam is classified as having a high hazard potential, emphasizing the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity. While the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," its emergency action plan and risk management measures are not clearly defined. With its location in a high-risk area, it is crucial for authorities to prioritize the safety and maintenance of this dam to prevent potential disasters and protect both the environment and the community it serves.
As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, it is important to monitor and advocate for the proper management and maintenance of Queen City Reservoir Dam. By staying informed about its condition assessments, emergency action plans, and risk management measures, we can help ensure the safety and sustainability of this essential infrastructure for both water supply and recreation in the region.

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.
