Summary
With a height of 20 feet and a length of 450 feet, this structure boasts a storage capacity of 146.3 acre-feet and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, wildlife habitat, and flood control. Its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a crucial asset in managing water resources in the region.
Managed by the local government and without state regulation, East Yellow Creek A-25 stands as a testament to responsible water resource management. Despite not being inspected or rated, this dam plays a critical role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the structure ensures controlled water release during high flow periods, maintaining water levels within safe limits for downstream areas.
Although the dam has not been assessed for condition or emergency action plan preparedness, its design and purpose highlight the importance of infrastructure in mitigating climate-related risks. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like East Yellow Creek A-25 are essential for safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the growing threats of floods and water scarcity.

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.
