Summary
Completed in 1991, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a structural height of 31 feet, protecting a drainage area of 225 square miles. With a capacity to store up to 115 acre-feet of water, the dam plays a crucial role in flood risk reduction for the local community.
Despite its low hazard potential, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T- 92 is considered to have a moderate risk level. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 36 feet, and its condition remains unrated as of now. While it lacks outlet gates, the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures are yet to be fully assessed. With its strategic location along Troublesome Creek and its vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding, this structure serves as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess the condition of Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T- 92, its significance in mitigating flood risks and preserving the local ecosystem cannot be understated. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of local government and federal agencies in ensuring the safety and well-being of the community. As discussions on water resource management and climate change adaptation gain momentum, the role of structures like Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T- 92 serves as a reminder of the critical importance of investing in sustainable infrastructure for a more resilient future.

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.
