Summary
Built in 1989 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet and spans a length of 730 feet. With a storage capacity of 114 acre-feet and a drainage area of 560 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T- 33 is considered to have a moderate risk level due to its location and design. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 20 feet and is primarily constructed of stone and soil materials. While it has not been rated for its condition, the dam continues to serve its primary purpose of flood risk reduction effectively, ensuring the safety of the local community.
With no state jurisdiction or regulation, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T- 33 is maintained by the local government and has not undergone recent inspections or assessments. While it may not be currently monitored as closely as other dams, its presence provides a sense of security for residents in the area. As a significant structure in the region, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of water resource management and climate resilience efforts in safeguarding communities from potential environmental risks.

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.
