Summary

Constructed in 1975 by the USDA NRCS, this reservoir has a dam height of 10 feet and a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Kellers Creek, this reservoir plays a crucial role in providing water for agricultural activities in the region.

Despite not being regulated by the state, Prudential Reservoir No 2 poses a high risk due to its hazard potential being classified as "Not Available." With a spillway width of 0 feet and no locks or drainage area listed, the reservoir's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are also not specified. This lack of information raises concerns about the reservoir's safety and the potential impact in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.

As a key component of the water resource infrastructure in the area, Prudential Reservoir No 2 serves as a vital source of water for irrigation needs. However, the limited data available on its safety and risk assessment highlights the importance of conducting thorough inspections and implementing proper emergency response plans to ensure the continued sustainability and reliability of this essential water resource.

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.
