Summary

Built in 1963, this Earth type dam stands at a height of 8 feet and has a length of 5000 feet, providing a storage capacity of 400 acre-feet. Despite its small surface area of 50 acres, this levee plays a crucial role in water management in the region.

While the dam is not equipped with a spillway, it features one outlet gate for water release. Although the condition assessment is not rated, the hazard potential of the structure is deemed high. The risk management measures and emergency preparedness plans for Dingle Lake No 2 Levee are currently not specified, highlighting the need for increased attention to the safety and maintenance of this vital water resource infrastructure.

With no associated structures and minimal regulatory oversight from state and federal agencies, the responsibility for the upkeep and operation of Dingle Lake No 2 Levee falls solely on its private owner. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the importance of maintaining and monitoring structures like this levee becomes increasingly critical to ensure the safety and sustainability of water supplies 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.
