Summary

Managed by Highlands Engineering, this dam structure has a height of 15 feet and a storage capacity of 52.28 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is to provide water supply in the region, serving as a vital resource for local communities and agriculture.

While the hazard potential of Jorgenson Pond is currently labeled as undetermined and its condition assessment is not rated, the state regulatory agency NDSWC ensures that the dam undergoes regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement to maintain its safety and functionality. The pond covers a surface area of 3.23 acres and is situated within the St. Paul District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite the lack of recent modification or specific risk assessment data, the pond continues to play a crucial role in water resource management in the area.

Although specific details on the construction year, spillway type, and maintenance history are not provided in the dataset, Jorgenson Pond remains a significant water infrastructure in North Dakota. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the importance of this privately-owned reservoir in supporting the local ecosystem, agriculture, and community water needs. With its location in a rural setting and its critical role in water supply, Jorgenson Pond stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
