Summary
This earth dam, standing at 28 feet tall and stretching 588 feet in length, plays a crucial role in managing water levels and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. With a normal storage capacity of 49 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 259 acre-feet, the dam serves as a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T-105 is considered to have a moderate risk level, indicating the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance. With a spillway width of 40 feet and an uncontrolled spillway type, the dam is designed to handle maximum discharges of up to 228.6 cubic feet per second. While the dam's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," it is crucial for local authorities to stay vigilant and ensure that necessary risk management measures are in place to safeguard the dam and surrounding communities from potential hazards. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring the condition and performance of Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T-105 remains a key aspect of ensuring the resilience of the local watershed system 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.
