Summary

Built in 1956, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and stretches 340 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 38 acre-feet for floodwaters. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is currently not rated for its condition.

Owned by the local government, Lost Cr Pilot Watershed Dam F-2 serves as a critical infrastructure in managing water resources in the region. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, this dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding areas from potential inundation during high water events. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and stone core construction further enhance its effectiveness in managing water flow.

While Lost Cr Pilot Watershed Dam F-2 has not undergone recent inspections or assessments, its strategic location and design reflect a commitment to sustainable water resource management. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the importance of such structures in mitigating flood risks is essential for ensuring the resilience of communities and ecosystems 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.
