Summary
Completed in 1990, this dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet. With a normal storage of 44 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres, Poosey 79-35-05-03 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, Poosey 79-35-05-03 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam, primarily used for unknown purposes, is not regulated or inspected by the state. With no emergency action plan in place and limited data available on its risk assessment and management measures, there are potential gaps in ensuring the safety and reliability of this structure in the face of changing climate conditions.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the infrastructure of Poosey 79-35-05-03 may find its design and purpose intriguing. While the dam serves as a water management tool in the region, there are opportunities for further assessment and planning to enhance its resilience and preparedness for future challenges related to climate change and extreme weather events.

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.
