Summary
Built in 1983, this earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 17 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area.
Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, the Clapham Ca-29 Dam remains a key structure for the community of Trenton. Its normal storage of 8 acre-feet and drainage area of 70 acres contribute to the overall water management system in the region. While the dam's spillway type and spillway width are not specified, its strategic location and design make it an essential component for maintaining water levels and protecting against potential flooding events in the area.
With no emergency action plan or risk assessment currently in place, there is room for improvement in terms of preparedness and response protocols for the Clapham Ca-29 Dam. However, its presence and functionality provide a sense of security and stability for residents and wildlife in the surrounding area. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to acknowledge the significance of structures like the Clapham Ca-29 Dam in ensuring the sustainability and resilience of our water systems.

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.
