Summary
Completed in 1962, this structure stands at a height of 37 feet with a hydraulic height of 33 feet, serving its primary purpose effectively. With a maximum storage capacity of 1124 acre-feet and a normal storage of 244 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 48 acres and has a spillway width of 2 feet.
Despite its age, this dam has a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, indicating the need for regular inspections and maintenance. The last inspection was conducted in 1980, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. The dam is equipped with a valve outlet gate and a controlled spillway to manage water discharge effectively. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status remain unclear.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, SCS-Quartermaster Creek Site-01 plays a crucial role in flood control and water resource management in the region. With its strategic location and design features, this dam continues to provide essential protection to the surrounding community and environment. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find this site intriguing for its historical significance and engineering excellence in mitigating flood risks along Hay Creek.

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.
