Summary
Built in 1968, this earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and serves primarily for flood risk reduction, as well as for recreation and water supply purposes. With a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet and a normal storage of 33 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 10 acres and drains an area of 96 square miles.
Although Mononame 534 is classified as having a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, its emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures are not specified. The dam does not fall under state jurisdiction, regulation, permitting, or inspection, as it is privately owned and operated. The structure is associated with the TR East Sheep Creek Offstream and is within the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, with no federal agency funding or involvement reported.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Mononame 534 offers an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam that plays a crucial role in flood risk reduction in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, understanding the management and maintenance of such structures becomes increasingly important. Further research and monitoring of Mononame 534 could provide valuable insights into the resilience and effectiveness of private dams in the face of changing environmental 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.
