Summary

This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 282 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 72 acre-feet and a surface area of 16 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and supporting agricultural activities in the region.

Despite its importance, Freeman Farm Number Two Dam is classified as having a high hazard potential. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is limited information available on its emergency action plan and risk management measures. It is situated near the TR McGuire Branch and Castile Creek, within the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District. The dam's location and design highlight the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality in the face of potential climate-related challenges.

As water resources and climate enthusiasts, understanding the intricacies of dams like Freeman Farm Number Two Dam provides valuable insights into the intersection of infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and community resilience. By delving into the data and characteristics of this dam, we can appreciate the vital role it plays in sustaining agricultural activities in the area, while also acknowledging the risks and challenges associated with its operation. Ongoing efforts to assess and manage these risks will be essential in safeguarding both the dam and the surrounding ecosystem in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
