Summary
This Earth dam, with a height of 24.4 feet and a length of 730 feet, serves the primary purpose of Grade Stabilization in the TRIB TO MOZINGO CREEK. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 24 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 152 cubic feet per second.
Despite being a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment, Mozingo Creek Watershed Site 15 has not been rated for condition assessment. It is not regulated by the state and does not require permitting, inspection, or enforcement. The dam features an Uncontrolled spillway type with a width of 30 feet, and it is not associated with any outlet gates or locks. With a drainage area of 69 square miles, the dam provides essential water resource management for the area.
Overall, Mozingo Creek Watershed Site 15 plays a crucial role in managing water resources and preventing erosion in the region. As a Grade Stabilization structure, it helps maintain the stability of the surrounding land and contributes to the overall health of the watershed. While it may have some moderate risks associated with it, the dam continues to fulfill its purpose effectively, ensuring the sustainable management of water resources in the area.

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.
