Summary
Designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 2004, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a hydraulic height of 14 feet, providing a storage capacity of 90.1 acre-feet. With a moderate risk assessment and low hazard potential, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Situated on TR-Big Creek, this dam spans 550 feet in length and covers a surface area of 6 acres, serving a drainage area of 221 square miles. Despite not being state-regulated or inspected, the dam's design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service ensure its structural integrity. With an uncontrolled spillway and no outlet gates, the dam's condition is currently not rated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in flood risk mitigation.
Although Big Creek-Hurricane Creek B-67 has not been assessed for its emergency action plan or inundation maps, its critical role in flood risk reduction for the region underscores the importance of continued oversight and management. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the condition and functionality of such infrastructure is essential for safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the impacts of extreme weather events and changing climate patterns.

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.
