Summary

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. 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.
