Summary

This earth dam on TR Black Run has a height of 7 feet and a length of 3500 feet, with a storage capacity of 156.45 acre-feet. The dam serves primarily for recreation purposes and has a spillway type of 'Uncontrolled'.

Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment is moderate (3), indicating a level of risk that requires attention. The last inspection was conducted in June 2015, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. The condition assessment is marked as 'Not Rated', suggesting a need for further evaluation to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Sgl #252 Road A presents an intriguing case study in dam management and risk assessment. With its location in a scenic area and a balance between recreational use and potential risks, this dam highlights the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety of both the structure and the surrounding environment. Further monitoring and risk management measures may be necessary to address the moderate risk level identified in the assessment.

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.
