Summary

The dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection and creating a small fish pond. It has a structural height of 12 feet and a storage capacity of 34 acre-feet, making it a significant water resource in the area. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam is inspected regularly and has been deemed to be in fair condition as of the last assessment in 2019.

The dam's location and purpose make it a vital component of the local water infrastructure, providing essential services for fire protection and recreational activities. Its significant hazard potential underscores the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety of the surrounding community. Although the dam is privately owned, its impact on the region's water resources and climate make it a point of interest for enthusiasts and stakeholders concerned with sustainable water management practices.

Given its fair condition and significant hazard potential, All Vac Dam presents a unique opportunity for collaboration between private owners and state agencies to ensure its continued safe operation. The dam's structural features and storage capacity make it a valuable asset for water resource management in the area. With proper risk assessment and management measures, the dam can continue to serve its multiple purposes effectively while mitigating potential hazards associated with its operation.

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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
