Summary
This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 7 feet with a length of 8800 feet, providing a storage capacity of 427 acre-feet. Situated on Ch-Pinoak Creek, the reservoir covers a surface area of 29 acres and has a drainage area of 0.1 square miles.
Despite being rated as "Not Available" in terms of hazard potential and "Not Rated" in condition assessment, the dam poses a high risk level, indicating potential vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. With no spillway and minimal infrastructure for flood control, the dam's emergency preparedness and risk management measures are not fully documented. The lack of regulatory enforcement and inspection by state agencies raises concerns about the safety and integrity of the structure.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Kallina Reservoir Dam presents a case study on the importance of proper infrastructure maintenance and emergency planning in mitigating risks associated with dam failures. The limited information available on the dam's condition highlights the need for increased oversight and investment in improving the dam's safety measures to ensure long-term resilience against potential disasters. As a critical irrigation source in the region, addressing the identified risks and implementing necessary measures is crucial for sustainable water management in the area.

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.
