Fleet Reservoir 2 dam
Fleet Reservoir 2
Fleet Reservoir 2 is a privately owned water resource located in Imbler, Oregon, along the Grande Ronde River. Completed in 1977, this reservoir serves primarily for irrigation purposes, storing a maximum of 78 acre-feet of water with a surface area of 2 acres. The dam stands at a height of 12 feet, providing a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a structural height of 14 feet.
Managed by the Oregon Water Resources Department, Fleet Reservoir 2 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," with the last inspection taking place in October 2012. This water structure plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the region, highlighting the importance of maintaining its integrity and safety.
Located within the Portland District, Fleet Reservoir 2 is a key component of the local water infrastructure, contributing to the efficient utilization of water resources for irrigation purposes. Its proximity to the Grande Ronde River ensures a reliable water source for agricultural activities in Union County, Oregon. As a vital part of the region's water management system, ongoing assessments and inspections are essential to ensure the reservoir's continued functionality and safety for both agricultural and environmental purposes.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Fleet Reservoir 2
Where does the data for Fleet Reservoir 2 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
