Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet with a length of 797 feet, creating a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is listed as "Other," indicating its importance in supporting agricultural activities in the region.
Despite its relatively small size, Perryton Feeders Lake No 2 Dam plays a significant role in managing water resources for the surrounding area. With a surface area of 14 acres and a normal storage capacity of 90 acre-feet, the dam helps to regulate flow and provide crucial water supply for agricultural and ecological needs. While the dam lacks a spillway, its design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service demonstrate a commitment to sustainable water management practices.
Although the dam's hazard potential is listed as "Not Available," its risk assessment is considered high, indicating the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring. With no listed inspection date or condition assessment, there is a need for continued oversight to ensure the dam's structural integrity and safety for the community it serves. As a vital water resource in the region, Perryton Feeders Lake No 2 Dam highlights the importance of sustainable water management in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
