Jashe 00 dam
Jashe 00
Jashe 00 is a private fish and wildlife pond located in Sumter, Alabama, specifically in the city of YORK. Built in 2000 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and stretches 200 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and a surface area of 6.3 acres. Situated on BUCK CREEK, this structure serves as a recreational spot while also supporting local fish and wildlife populations.
Despite its low hazard potential, Jashe 00 has a moderate risk assessment rating, indicating a certain level of vulnerability to potential hazards. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 25 feet and no outlet gates. While the structure has not been rated for its current condition, it has not undergone recent inspections or assessments. The risk management measures for Jashe 00 are currently unspecified, suggesting a need for further evaluation and potentially additional safety protocols.
As a water resource and climate enthusiast, Jashe 00 presents an intriguing case study in dam construction and management practices. The structure's location in a rural area of Alabama underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams for both environmental and safety reasons. With its unique design and purpose, Jashe 00 serves as a reminder of the intersection between human activity and natural ecosystems, highlighting the delicate balance required to ensure sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Jashe 00
Where does the data for Jashe 00 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
