Resettlement Admin. 29 dam
Resettlement Admin. 29
Resettlement Admin. 29, also known as Teal Flowage, is a state-owned recreational dam located in Wisconsin, specifically in Jackson County near Winnebago Mission. Built in 1936, this earth dam stands at a height of 9.2 feet and stretches 750 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this dam is for recreational use, providing opportunities for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities.
Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Resettlement Admin. 29 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities. The dam has a low hazard potential and is rated in fair condition as of the last assessment in May 2017. Despite its relatively low risk level, a very high risk assessment ranking (1) indicates potential vulnerabilities that warrant attention. With a controlled spillway and a drainage area of 7 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Resettlement Admin. 29 serves as a focal point for understanding the intersection of infrastructure, recreation, and environmental stewardship. As part of the broader network of dams in Wisconsin, this structure provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with managing water resources in a changing climate. By staying informed about the status and risks associated with dams like Resettlement Admin. 29, enthusiasts can contribute to efforts aimed at enhancing the safety, sustainability, and resilience of water infrastructure across the state.
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 Resettlement Admin. 29
Where does the data for Resettlement Admin. 29 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.
