Summary
The dam, designed by USDA NRCS, serves the primary purpose of grade stabilization along the TR-WILLOW CREEK stream. It is an earth dam with a height of 29 feet and a length of 570 feet, providing a storage capacity of 201 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 12 acres. The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Although not regulated by the state, Willow Creek Watershed Dam A-24b plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. With a maximum discharge capacity of 250 cubic feet per second and an uncontrolled spillway type, the dam helps to control water flow during periods of high precipitation. Despite not having an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or a condition assessment rating, the dam continues to serve its intended purpose of grade stabilization effectively.
Overall, Willow Creek Watershed Dam A-24b stands as a testament to the importance of infrastructure in managing water resources and climate impacts. With its strategic location and design features, the dam contributes to the overall resilience of the watershed, mitigating potential risks and ensuring the safety of nearby communities. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, we can appreciate the vital role that structures like Willow Creek Watershed Dam A-24b play in sustaining our environment for future generations.

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.
