Summary
This earth dam structure was completed in 1954 and serves primarily for recreational purposes, including fish and wildlife pond activities. With a dam height of 23 feet and a hydraulic height of 14 feet, the reservoir has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 7 acres, drawing water from Tr-Bull Creek.
Despite its low hazard potential, Reservoir #2 has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3 due to its lack of available condition assessment and emergency action plan information. The uncontrolled spillway with a width of 1200 feet adds to the operational challenges, although the reservoir has not been modified in recent years. The last inspection in 2017 revealed no significant issues, but there is a need for updated emergency preparedness measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam structure.
Overall, Reservoir #2 provides a valuable recreational resource in the area, but there is room for improvement in terms of risk management and emergency response protocols. Climate and water resource enthusiasts interested in the management and sustainability of reservoirs would find this structure an intriguing case study for its historical significance and current operational challenges.

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.
