Summary
Designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 2005, this flood risk reduction structure stands at a height of 24.4 feet and boasts a storage capacity of 146.1 acre-feet. With a maximum discharge of 458 cubic feet per second, the dam serves a drainage area of 291 square miles and covers a surface area of 7.5 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, Big Creek-Hurricane Creek B-119 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 34 feet and uncontrolled outlet gates. The primary purpose of the structure is flood risk reduction, with its stone core and soil foundation contributing to its overall structural integrity. While not regulated by the state or subject to regular inspections, the dam remains a vital component of the local watershed management system.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Big Creek-Hurricane Creek B-119 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region. Despite its uncontrolled spillway and lack of state permitting and inspection, the dam continues to provide essential protection to the surrounding area. As a key component of the flood control infrastructure in Carroll County, this earth dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of local government and federal agencies in safeguarding water resources and enhancing climate resilience in the community.

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.
