Oregon Pride Nursery Dam dam
Oregon Pride Nursery Dam
Oregon Pride Nursery Dam, located in Yamhill, Oregon, is a privately owned structure primarily used for irrigation purposes. With a height of 39 feet and a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the region. While its hazard potential is rated as low, the dam is regulated and inspected by the Oregon Water Resources Department to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its modest size and low hazard potential, Oregon Pride Nursery Dam serves as a vital water resource for the local community. Managed and maintained by private owners, the dam contributes to the irrigation needs of the area, demonstrating the importance of sustainable water management practices. With its strategic location and functional design, this dam exemplifies the crucial role that small-scale water infrastructure plays in supporting agricultural activities and enhancing water security in the region.
As a part of the Portland District, Oregon Pride Nursery Dam stands as a testament to the resilience and innovation of water resource management in Oregon. While its condition is not currently rated, regular inspections and maintenance ensure its continued functionality and safety. This dam serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of water resources and climate resilience, highlighting the importance of sustainable infrastructure development in mitigating water-related challenges in the face of a changing climate.

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 Oregon Pride Nursery Dam
Where does the data for Oregon Pride Nursery Dam 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.
