Summary
Built in 1960, this dam stands at a hydraulic height of 24.3 feet and a structural height of 26.5 feet, with a total length of 630 feet. It has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 4.2 acres, serving as a vital water resource in the region.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Hall has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The dam is not state-regulated or permitted, but it undergoes inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in July 2018. While the condition assessment is not rated, the dam's emergency action plan status is unknown, raising concerns about its preparedness for potential risks and emergencies.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Hall presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam with notable hydraulic features and a moderate risk assessment. The dam's location along the Forked Deer River adds to its significance in the region, highlighting the importance of monitoring and managing its safety and potential environmental impacts. With its storage capacity and surface area, Hall plays a crucial role in water management, making it a focal point for ongoing assessment and attention in the realm of water resource and climate management.

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.
