Summary

This facility plays a key role in treating wastewater from the watershed of Tweed Creek, ensuring that the water discharged back into the environment meets regulatory standards. With a significant hazard potential and a fair condition assessment, the facility requires regular inspections and maintenance to continue operating effectively.

Built in 1985, the Wastewater Treatment facility has a dam height of 45 feet and a storage capacity of 173.2 acre-feet, serving a drainage area of 0.02 square miles. The facility is designed to primarily serve purposes other than water supply or flood control, highlighting its importance in managing wastewater in the region. Despite its fair condition assessment, the facility maintains a normal storage capacity of 154.8 acre-feet and a surface area of 11.9 acres, demonstrating its efficiency in treating wastewater.

As a vital component of the local wastewater treatment infrastructure, the Wastewater Treatment facility requires ongoing attention to ensure its continued operation and compliance with state regulations. With a designated inspection frequency and significant hazard potential, the facility plays a crucial role in safeguarding water quality in the region. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find the Wastewater Treatment facility an intriguing example of the intersection between infrastructure, environmental protection, and sustainable water management practices.

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.
