Summary

With a height of 22 feet and a storage capacity of 606 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. The dam has a low hazard potential and is categorized as having a moderate risk level, making it an essential structure for water supply and flood control in the region.

Located in the Portland District, Camp Creek No.2 is regulated by the Oregon Water Resources Department, ensuring that it meets all necessary state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. The dam features a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate and an uncontrolled spillway type. Despite not having a condition assessment rating, the dam's last inspection in August 2015 reaffirmed its structural integrity and safety measures, highlighting its importance in water management for the surrounding community.

With its strategic location in Crook County and its vital role in irrigation and water storage, Camp Creek No.2 stands as a significant infrastructure for water resource and climate enthusiasts. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, structures like this earth dam play a crucial role in ensuring sustainable water management practices and resilience against future challenges. Its presence underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring key water infrastructure to safeguard against potential risks and support a thriving ecosystem 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.
