Summary

This fish and wildlife pond covers a surface area of 5.43 acres and has a drainage area of 0.25 square miles. With a maximum storage capacity of 67.56 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 23.08 acre-feet, this pond serves as a vital habitat for various aquatic species in the area.

The dam at Donald Parker Pond stands at a height of 21.5 feet, with a hydraulic height of 19.5 feet, and a structural height of 24.5 feet. Equipped with a controlled spillway, the pond has a maximum discharge capacity of 29.14 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this pond is categorized as very high, emphasizing the importance of its management and maintenance to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.

Managed by the OWRB in collaboration with the NRCS, Donald Parker Pond is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement measures. Even though its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," regular inspections are conducted every 5 years to monitor its structural integrity and overall safety. With its strategic location and purpose as a fish and wildlife habitat, this pond serves as a valuable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in conservation and sustainability efforts in the region.

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.
