Summary
With a primary purpose of recreation, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet on TR Bissett Run in Springhill Township. Despite its low hazard potential, Neely has been assessed to be in fair condition, with the last inspection conducted in July 2017.
Managed by the Huntington District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Neely serves as a vital recreational resource for the local community. The dam's associated structures are currently unlisted, and it has not undergone any modifications or improvements in recent years. With its close proximity to the residential area, maintaining the safety and integrity of Neely is crucial for protecting downstream communities and the surrounding environment.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Neely presents an interesting case study in dam management and regulation. As a privately owned structure with state oversight, the dam serves as a reminder of the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure public safety and environmental protection. With its relatively low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Neely stands as a testament to the careful balance between recreational use and safety in water resource management.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
