Summary
Built in 2004, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 40 feet and has a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet. Situated on the TRIBPAGE BRANCH river or stream, Walker offers a surface area of 3 acres for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various outdoor activities.
Despite its recreational appeal, Walker poses a high hazard potential due to its uncontrolled spillway type. The dam has not been officially rated for its condition assessment, and the last inspection was conducted in October 2016 with an inspection frequency of five years. The risk assessment for Walker is categorized as moderate, indicating potential risks that need to be managed effectively to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.
With a risk management plan yet to be defined and emergency action procedures not in place, stakeholders should be vigilant about the safety measures concerning Walker. The dam's location within a high-hazard area underscores the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to mitigate any potential risks associated with its operations. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should stay informed about the latest updates regarding Walker to ensure the sustainability and safety of this recreational facility.

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.
