Summary
This earth dam with a buttress core type serves as a vital resource for water storage, with a maximum capacity of 160 acre-feet. While the dam is not regulated by the state, it is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.
Despite its small size, Peacock Lake Dam poses a high risk (2) due to its lack of spillways and emergency action plans. The dam, built on TR-Seco Creek, serves a crucial purpose in water management for the area. However, the absence of comprehensive risk management measures raises concerns about the dam's safety in the event of a natural disaster or extreme weather event.
As a private-owned structure, Peacock Lake Dam underscores the importance of proactive maintenance and risk assessment for dams in ensuring the safety of surrounding communities and the sustainable management of water resources. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate change should monitor developments regarding Peacock Lake Dam to advocate for necessary improvements in its management and safety protocols.

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.
