Summary

Completed in 1942, this dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a length of 1200 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, the dam also features a valve outlet gate for water release.

Despite its age, Hulah Restocking Pd has not been rated for its condition and has not undergone recent inspections. However, the risk assessment for this dam is very high, signaling a need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures. With a maximum discharge of 2000 cubic feet per second, the dam serves multiple purposes, although the specifics of its design and construction remain unclear. As a key water resource structure in the area, Hulah Restocking Pd plays a crucial role in managing water levels and protecting against potential flooding events.

Given its location in a high-risk area and the lack of recent assessments, stakeholders and climate enthusiasts should monitor the condition of Hulah Restocking Pd closely. With the potential for increased climate variability and extreme weather events, ensuring the safety and reliability of this dam is essential for water resource management and community resilience. Collaboration between federal agencies and local authorities will be crucial in addressing any potential risks associated with this important water infrastructure.

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.
