Summary
Designed by USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet, with a hydraulic height of 19 feet, and a structural height of 31 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 92 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 26 acre-feet, this dam plays a vital role in managing water resources in the region.
This dam, with its primary purpose being flood risk reduction, also serves other purposes such as fire protection, stock, or small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond. It is constructed with stone core and soil foundation, and features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 20 feet. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment is rated as moderate (3). With a drainage area of 40 square miles and a surface area of 2 acres, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T-112 is an essential piece of infrastructure for water resource management in the region.
Managed and owned by the local government, this dam has not been rated in terms of its condition assessment. However, it is inspected regularly to ensure its functionality and safety. Although it has not been assigned an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or inundation maps, the dam continues to be a critical asset for the community. Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T-112 represents a vital component in the region's water resource and climate resiliency efforts, showcasing the importance of sustainable infrastructure for managing water resources effectively.

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.
