Ice Harbor Ranch Block 211 Reservoir dam
Ice Harbor Ranch Block 211 Reservoir
Ice Harbor Ranch Block 211 Reservoir, located in Franklin, Washington, is a privately owned water supply reservoir completed in 2013 with a primary purpose of water supply. The dam, designed by Gary Weatherly of J-U-B Engineers, is an earth dam with a structural height of 24.5 feet and a storage capacity of 103 acre-feet. The reservoir covers an area of 7.8 acres and has a normal storage capacity of 81 acre-feet, making it a vital resource for water management in the region.
Managed by the Washington Department of Ecology, the Ice Harbor Ranch Block 211 Reservoir has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. While no recent inspection data is available, the reservoir has a designated inspection frequency and is subject to state regulations and enforcement. Despite being a privately owned structure, the reservoir plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area.
With its strategic location in Congressional District 04, Washington, the Ice Harbor Ranch Block 211 Reservoir serves as a key water supply infrastructure in the region. While specific details on spillways, drainage areas, and lock systems are not provided, the reservoir's design and construction highlight its importance in meeting the water supply needs of the community. As climate change impacts water resources, reservoirs like Ice Harbor Ranch Block 211 play a vital role in ensuring water security for the future.

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 Ice Harbor Ranch Block 211 Reservoir
Where does the data for Ice Harbor Ranch Block 211 Reservoir 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.
