Summary
Designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1957, this dam stands at a height of 28 feet with a hydraulic height of 24 feet. With a storage capacity of 220 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 197 acre-feet, this dam serves various purposes beyond just flood control, making it an important water resource for the region.
Although categorized as having a low hazard potential, Quinn Orville No.1 is considered to have a very high risk according to the data, signaling the need for proper risk management measures to be in place. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, providing some level of control over water discharge. Furthermore, the dam has not been inspected since April 2010, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance and assessment to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the dam.
With its unique design and historical significance, Quinn Orville No.1 stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in the face of increasing environmental challenges. As enthusiasts in this field, it is crucial to monitor and support initiatives that promote sustainable water infrastructure and enhance the resilience of our communities against the impacts of climate change.

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.
