Summary
Built in 1953 by USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a hydraulic height of 30 feet, providing essential protection for the surrounding area along TR-Beaverdam Creek. With a storage capacity of 332 acre-feet, the dam serves as a critical infrastructure for managing water flow and mitigating flood risks in the region.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Beaver Dam Creek Site-2 indicates a very high level of risk, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and oversight. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, and has not been inspected since 1980. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the presence of state permitting, inspection, and enforcement mechanisms suggests a commitment to ensuring the safety and functionality of the structure. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the role of dams like SCS-Beaver Dam Creek Site-2 becomes even more crucial in safeguarding communities from the threat of flooding and water-related disasters.

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.
