Summary

Completed in 2008, this earth dam stands at 27 feet high and stretches 400 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 54.47 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 37.05 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is grade stabilization, serving as a crucial water resource management tool in the region.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Tim Redding Dam plays a significant role in mitigating flood risks and ensuring water security for the surrounding area. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, allowing for controlled water release during high flow events. Despite being privately owned, the dam's construction and design were overseen by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, highlighting a collaborative effort in water resource management.

As a key structure in the Rock Island District, Tim Redding Dam showcases the importance of earth dams in maintaining water quality, regulating flows, and protecting downstream communities. Its strategic location and design elements make it a vital asset in the region's overall water resource and climate resilience efforts, emphasizing the critical role of infrastructure in sustainable resource management.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
