Summary
This privately owned earth dam stands at a structural height of 14 feet with a length of 1050 feet and a storage capacity of 135 acre-feet. Despite its relatively small size, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, particularly for fire protection and agricultural needs.
The dam, situated on Becerro Creek, does not have a spillway and is not regulated by the state. Its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated" with a high risk assessment rating. While there are no significant associated structures or inspection data available, the dam remains a key feature in the local water management infrastructure. The risk management measures and emergency preparedness of the dam are not clearly documented, indicating a potential area for improvement in ensuring the safety and integrity of the structure for both water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Vincent Lake Dam's presence highlights the importance of small-scale water management structures in sustaining local ecosystems and supporting various water-related activities. With its historical significance dating back to the 1960s, the dam continues to provide vital water resources for the surrounding community. As efforts to monitor and assess the dam's condition and potential risks evolve, it is essential for stakeholders and enthusiasts to remain engaged in the ongoing management and maintenance of this critical water infrastructure.

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.
