Summary
Built in 1981 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a length of 346 feet. With a storage capacity of 38 acre-feet, it serves various purposes, including flood control and irrigation, making it a vital resource for the local community.
Despite its importance, Dunn No 2 Gss has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its hazard potential is listed as "Not Available." However, it is categorized as having a high risk level (2), although specific risk management measures are not provided in the available data. With no spillway and only one outlet gate, this dam may require further inspection and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality in the face of potential climate challenges.
As water resources and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and evaluate the condition of dams like Dunn No 2 Gss to address any potential risks and ensure the continued availability of water for various uses. Collaborative efforts between private owners, regulatory agencies, and the community can help in implementing necessary safety measures and emergency preparedness plans to safeguard these critical infrastructure assets from the impacts of climate change.

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.
