Summary
Constructed in 2001 by USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 88 acre-feet. With a spillway width of 24 feet and a maximum discharge of 179 cfs, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow in the TR-East Yellow river or stream.
Despite its low hazard potential, East Yellow Creek A-106a is an essential infrastructure for the community, with a drainage area of 25.6 square miles and a surface area of 2 acres. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, but it undergoes regular inspections, last conducted in November 2001. With a moderate risk assessment of 3, there is a need for continued risk management measures to ensure the dam's effectiveness in flood control and water resource management.
Overall, East Yellow Creek A-106a serves as a vital component in the flood risk reduction strategy for the region, designed to protect the community from potential inundation events. Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this Earth dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management in mitigating the impacts of climate change on local ecosystems and communities.

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.
