Summary
Completed in 1959, this dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 650 acre-feet. The dam's controlled spillway, with a width of 1 foot, can handle a maximum discharge of 1020 cubic feet per second, ensuring effective flood control measures for the surrounding area.
Despite its low hazard potential and very high risk assessment rating, SCS-Peavine Creek Site-06 has not been rated for its current condition. The dam features a valve outlet gate and has not been inspected since January 1980, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unclear, its state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement are all confirmed, indicating a commitment to ensuring the safety and functionality of this vital water resource infrastructure. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the significance of SCS-Peavine Creek Site-06 in mitigating flood risks and safeguarding the local community and environment.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
