Summary
Built in 1963, this earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 28 feet and spans a length of 490 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 54 acre-feet and a normal storage of 17 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
The dam's spillway, which is uncontrolled and 40 feet wide, helps regulate water flow and prevent flooding in the Tabo Creek watershed. Despite its age, Tabo Creek Watershed Dam B-24 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. However, with a moderate risk level assigned to it, there is a need for regular monitoring and potential risk management measures to ensure its long-term functionality and safety.
As a significant piece of water infrastructure in the region, Tabo Creek Watershed Dam B-24 serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience. Its role in grade stabilization and flood control highlights the ongoing efforts to balance the needs of water supply, environmental protection, and community safety in the face of changing climatic conditions.

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.
