Summary
Designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 2007, this earth dam stands at a height of 23.8 feet, with a structural height of 26 feet and a length of 490 feet. The dam serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction, fire protection, and providing a habitat for fish and wildlife.
With a storage capacity of 79.9 acre-feet and a drainage area of 211.2 square miles, East Yellow Creek A-32 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with a hazard potential rated as low and a moderate risk assessment of 3. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are yet to be determined.
Overall, East Yellow Creek A-32 stands as a vital infrastructure for flood risk reduction and water resource management in Sullivan County. As a significant contributor to the local ecosystem and community resilience, this dam serves as a key element in ensuring water security and climate resilience in the region. Its strategic location and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service highlight the importance of sustainable water infrastructure for addressing environmental challenges and promoting ecosystem health.

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.
