Summary

118 Dam, located in Salem, New Jersey, is a privately owned structure regulated by the state's Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). This earth dam, standing at a height of 8 feet and stretching 200 feet in length, serves a primary purpose that falls under the category of "Other." With a storage capacity of 720 acre-feet and a surface area of 20 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, specifically in the drainage area of 1.4 square miles that it serves.

Despite its low hazard potential, Nj No Name No. 118 Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, with the last inspection conducted back in September 2001. The dam's Emergency Action Plan status and risk assessment measures are also not documented, pointing to a potential area of improvement in terms of emergency preparedness and response. With its proximity to Alloway Creek-TR and the surrounding Lower Alloways Creek Township, the dam's role in water resource management and climate resilience cannot be understated.

As a vital component of the local water infrastructure, Nj No Name No. 118 Dam represents a critical piece of the puzzle in safeguarding the environment and communities against potential water-related risks. Continued monitoring, assessment, and emergency planning will be key in ensuring the dam's effectiveness and resilience in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource challenges in the region.

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.
