Summary

The earth dam, with a height of 9 feet and a length of 3750 feet, was completed in 1950 and has a storage capacity of 282 acre-feet. While the reservoir serves for irrigation, it also provides recreational opportunities for the local community.

Despite being inspected in 1984, the condition of the Bieri Lakes Reservoir No 2 Levee is currently not rated. It lacks a spillway and has no designated surface area or drainage area. However, with a hazard potential that is not available and a risk assessment indicating a high risk level, there may be a need for further evaluation and management measures to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Bieri Lakes Reservoir No 2 Levee presents an interesting case study in dam infrastructure and management. With its unique design features and historical significance, the reservoir offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with water conservation and recreational development in the region.

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.
