Summary
Completed in 1991, the dam stands at a height of 34 feet and has a length of 237 feet. It has a storage capacity of 46 acre-feet and serves to control the flow of TR-NO FK MIDDLE FABIUS R. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.
The dam's spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 12 feet, and it does not have any outlet gates or associated structures. The surrounding area has a surface area of 14 acres and a drainage area of 210 acres. With a normal storage capacity of 36 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. Although not currently rated for its condition, the dam is regularly monitored for any potential risks and hazards, ensuring the safety of the surrounding community and environment.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Tallman No 2 Dam represents a vital infrastructure for grade stabilization and water management in the area. While it has a low hazard potential, its moderate risk assessment underscores the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to prevent any potential issues. As a privately owned structure, the dam serves as a key player in the ecosystem, controlling the flow of the nearby river and ensuring the safety and stability of the surrounding area.

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.
