Summary

This private earth dam, with a height of 18 feet and a length of 600 feet, has a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet and is primarily used for agricultural purposes. Despite being non-regulated by the state, the dam has undergone inspections and is in a condition that is not rated, presenting a high risk level.

The dam, situated on the TR-SALT BRANCH river or stream, lacks a spillway and features one outlet gate. With no associated structures and a hazard potential that is not available, Love and Rodgers Dam No 3 continues to play a crucial role in supporting irrigation activities in the region. The risk assessment for this dam is classified as high, indicating the importance of implementing proper risk management measures to ensure the safety and stability of the structure in the face of potential emergencies.

While the dam may not be under federal ownership or funding, its significance in providing water resources for irrigation cannot be understated. With the potential for high-risk situations, it is essential for the local community and relevant authorities to stay vigilant and prepared to handle any emergencies that may arise at Love and Rodgers Dam No 3.

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.
