Summary

Standing at a height of 29 feet with a hydraulic height of 29 feet, Kee has a storage capacity of 23 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 23 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a spillway width of 0 feet. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Kee is considered to have a moderate risk level.

Owned privately, Kee does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation. With no state permitting, inspection, or enforcement, the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated." The risk assessment for Kee indicates a moderate risk level, with no specific risk management measures or emergency action plan mentioned in the available data. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it remains an essential structure for water resource management in the area.

Even though Kee may not have a designated primary purpose or specific associated structures, its presence along TR SAND CREEK serves a vital role in water conservation and management efforts in the region. As a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts, Kee's design and function by the Natural Resources Conservation Service highlight the importance of sustainable infrastructure for maintaining and regulating water resources for the surrounding community of ORIENTA.

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.
