Summary
Completed in 2001, this earth dam stands at 29 feet high and spans 680 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 73 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction, fire protection, and supporting wildlife habitats.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T-104 is a crucial component in the local water resource management system. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates ensure effective water flow regulation during heavy precipitation events. Despite not having a formal condition assessment, the dam is continuously monitored for any potential risks and maintenance needs to ensure its long-term functionality.
This dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding Lewis County community from flood events and ensuring sustainable water resource management in the region. With its strategic location along Troublesome Creek and its design for multiple purposes, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T-104 stands as a testament to effective infrastructure planning and management in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
