Summary

Managed by the USDA NRCS, this dam on the TR-Pittman Hollow stream serves a primary purpose that falls under the "Other" category. With a storage capacity of 41 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area.

Despite being non-federally regulated, the 7x Ranch Gss has a high risk assessment rating of 2, indicating potential hazards that need to be addressed. With a condition assessment of "Not Rated," the dam's structural integrity and safety are uncertain. With no emergency action plan in place and limited information on risk management measures, there is a need for increased monitoring and maintenance to ensure the continued safety and effectiveness of this important water resource infrastructure.

As climate change continues to impact water resources, enthusiasts and stakeholders in the field should pay attention to the condition and management of dams like the 7x Ranch Gss. With a focus on sustainable water management and resilience to climate-related challenges, it is crucial to prioritize the safety and maintenance of vital infrastructure like this dam to safeguard water resources 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.
