Summary

The earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet with a length of 1000 feet, providing a storage capacity of 365 acre-feet for recreational activities. Despite being a privately owned structure, the dam is regulated by the state with regular inspections to ensure safety and compliance with permitting requirements.

The dam, situated along the TR-BLISS CREEK, does not have a spillway but is equipped with one outlet gate for water control. With a hazard potential rating of "Not Available" and a high risk assessment score of 2, it is crucial for the owners to implement proper risk management measures to mitigate any potential hazards. Although the condition of the dam is not rated, its owners should prioritize maintaining and monitoring the structure to ensure its continued safety and functionality for the local community.

Overall, Harcrow Lake No 2 Dam is an essential water resource for recreational purposes in the region, providing a serene environment for outdoor activities. With its picturesque surroundings and ample storage capacity, the dam serves as a valuable asset for water enthusiasts and climate advocates alike. As efforts continue to enhance its safety and management, the dam will remain a vital component of the local water infrastructure.

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.
