Summary
Constructed in 1978 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and spans 1800 feet in length. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a storage capacity of 1370 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 53 acre-feet.
The dam has a controlled spillway and a significant hazard potential, with a fair condition assessment. It is equipped with a valve outlet gate and has a maximum discharge capacity of 1393 cubic feet per second. Despite being last inspected in 2011, the dam is subject to regular inspections with a frequency of 3 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With a very high risk rating (1) and state jurisdiction, the SCS-Upper Red Rock Creek Site-03 plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the area.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find SCS-Upper Red Rock Creek Site-03 an intriguing site for its engineering and environmental significance. As a part of flood risk reduction efforts, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure in protecting the surrounding communities from potential flooding events. With its unique characteristics and state regulation, this dam showcases the importance of sustainable water management practices and the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure public safety and environmental resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.

Dam Data Reference
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.
