Summary

Constructed in 1953, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 36 feet, with a hydraulic height of 34 feet and a structural height of 50 feet. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 330 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 30 acres, drawing from a drainage area of 8.1 square miles.

The dam, situated on the Middle Fork Camp Creek, serves as a critical water source for the surrounding agricultural community in Post, Oregon. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," the Logan Butte Reservoir remains a vital component of the region's water infrastructure. Regular inspections are conducted, with the last inspection taking place in April 2019, ensuring the safety and efficiency of this essential water management structure.

Managed by the private sector and regulated by the Oregon Water Resources Department, the Logan Butte Reservoir plays a crucial role in sustaining irrigation activities in the area. Its proximity to the Portland District underscores its significance in the region's water distribution network. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the efficient management and maintenance of reservoirs like Logan Butte are essential for ensuring a reliable water supply for agricultural needs 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.
