Summary
Built in 1940, this earth dam spans 500 feet in length and reaches a height of 18 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 89 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," and it serves as a crucial structure on the TR-PUSH CR river or stream.
State-regulated and inspected, the Robinson Jerry D dam boasts a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential. Though its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the dam's risk assessment is classified as "Very High (1)." With a maximum discharge of 1240 cubic feet per second and emergency contact information updated as of 2010, this dam is a key feature in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Robinson Jerry D dam offers a fascinating case study in private ownership, state regulation, and risk management in the face of changing environmental conditions. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam plays a vital role in water storage and flood control on the TR-PUSH CR waterway. As discussions around infrastructure resilience and emergency preparedness continue to gain importance, the Robinson Jerry D dam stands as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to safeguard our water resources and communities in the face of potential hazards.

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.
