Summary
This earth and buttress dam stands at a height of 25 feet, with a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its emergency action plan status remains unknown.
Owned privately and not regulated by the state, Kcs Bridge A-65 serves as a vital infrastructure for managing water resources in the area. With a drainage area of 1500 acres and a normal storage capacity of 58 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water management. While its condition assessment and emergency preparedness are not currently rated, the dam continues to fulfill its purpose of debris control along TR-Mulberry Creek.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of structures like Kcs Bridge A-65 is crucial for managing and preserving our natural resources. With its low hazard potential and history of serving the community since 1974, this private dam stands as a testament to the importance of maintaining and monitoring our water infrastructure for the benefit of both the environment and local communities.

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.
