Summary

Standing at a height of 39 feet and a length of 750 feet, the dam provides a storage capacity of 186 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 90 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Indian Camp Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the state with permitting and inspection requirements in place.

Despite not having a spillway, the dam has been rated as having a high risk potential, with the condition assessment remaining unrated. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared, and the hazard potential is currently not available. The dam is not regulated by any federal agency and has not undergone recent inspections or risk assessments. Although the risk potential is high, the dam continues to serve its purpose for recreation and water supply in the region.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the Foster Lake No 2 Dam can appreciate its role in providing water supply and recreational opportunities in the area. Its unique design and location on the TR-Indian Camp Creek make it a significant structure for the local community. However, concerns about its high-risk potential and lack of recent assessments highlight the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and longevity of the dam for future generations.

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.
