Nj No Name No. 118 Dam dam
Nj No Name No. 118 Dam
Nj No Name No. 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.
Dam data reference
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 Nj No Name No. 118 Dam
Where does the data for Nj No Name No. 118 Dam 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.
