Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 30 feet and a hydraulic height of 27 feet, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along TR-WHITEBREAD CREEK. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 25 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a surface area of 3 acres.
Despite being classified as having low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Sugar Creek Site-105 indicates a very high risk level (1) due to various factors not specified in the data. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and the last inspection date is listed as January 1, 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release.
With its location in a high-risk area and the lack of recent condition assessment data, SCS-Sugar Creek Site-105 presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in exploring the maintenance and safety considerations of aging infrastructure in flood-prone regions. Further investigation and monitoring may be necessary to ensure the continued effectiveness and safety of this essential flood risk reduction structure.

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.
