Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet, with a hydraulic height of 25 feet and a structural height of 14 feet. It serves multiple purposes, including flood risk reduction, and has a maximum storage capacity of 7.5 acre-feet.
The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 10 feet, and it has no outlet gates. Despite being in fair condition according to a 2019 assessment, the dam is classified as having a significant hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating. The inspection frequency is every 3 years, with the last assessment conducted in July 2019.
With its location in a high-risk area and the potential for significant consequences in the event of failure, the Rotp Spill Holding Pond Dam underscores the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of nearby communities and the surrounding environment. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find this structure a focal point for understanding the intricate balance between water management, infrastructure resilience, and environmental protection in the face of changing climate patterns.

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.
