Summary
This private dam, standing at a height of 18 feet with a length of 660 feet, was built primarily for purposes other than flood control or hydropower generation. The dam holds a storage capacity of 122 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 67 acre-feet, providing essential water supply for the region.
Situated on TR-WEEDY CREEK, Taylor Lake No 2 Dam is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type. Despite its age, the dam's hazard potential is not available, and its condition is yet to be rated. With no spillway and limited information on inspections and emergency preparedness, there is a high risk associated with the dam. Climate enthusiasts and water resource managers should closely monitor this dam to ensure its stability and mitigate any potential risks to downstream communities.
Given its critical role in water supply and the high risk associated with its condition, Taylor Lake No 2 Dam requires close attention and proactive risk management measures. As the dam's risk assessment indicates a high level of risk, stakeholders and authorities should prioritize regular inspections, maintenance, and emergency preparedness to safeguard the surrounding area from any potential hazards. The future of this dam and its impact on water resources and climate resilience in the region depend on effective risk management strategies and proactive measures to ensure its safety and functionality.

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.
