Mccormick North Phase I East Pond dam
Mccormick North Phase I East Pond
Mccormick North Phase I East Pond is a vital flood risk reduction structure located in Kitsap, Washington, designed by Goldsmith & Assoc. The dam, primarily serving the purpose of flood risk reduction, is an Earth type structure with a Stone core foundation. Completed in 2009, it stands at a hydraulic height of 32 feet and a structural height of 27 feet, with a length of 840 feet and a storage capacity of 29 acre-feet.
Notably regulated by the Washington Department of Ecology, Mccormick North Phase I East Pond has a hazard potential rated as high, with a fair condition assessment as of June 2018. The dam's inspection frequency is set at every 5 years, ensuring its structural integrity and safety measures are regularly monitored and maintained. With a drainage area of 0.12 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 123 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating potential flooding risks in the region.
Overall, Mccormick North Phase I East Pond serves as a significant water resource infrastructure in Washington, contributing to flood risk reduction efforts and ensuring the safety of the surrounding communities. With its strategic location near Anderson Creek and adherence to state regulatory standards, the dam stands as a key component in the region's water management system, highlighting the importance of sustainable and effective climate adaptation measures in the face of changing environmental conditions.
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 Mccormick North Phase I East Pond
Where does the data for Mccormick North Phase I East Pond 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 High 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.
