Summary
Standing at 14 feet in height and stretching 1180 feet in length, the dam serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other." With a storage capacity of 168 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 79 acre-feet, Chandler Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Although the dam lacks a spillway and has not been rated for its condition, it is equipped with one outlet gate and is monitored for inspection and maintenance by the state regulatory agency. The hazard potential of Chandler Dam is currently deemed "Not Available," while the risk assessment is classified as "High (2)." Even though there have been no reported modifications or emergency preparedness measures for the dam, its presence on the TR-Pulaski Creek contributes to flood risk management efforts in the region.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in the area may find Chandler Dam to be a fascinating structure that embodies the intersection of private ownership, regulatory oversight, and risk management in the realm of dam infrastructure. As a key player in the local water management system, Chandler Dam stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to balance the need for water storage with the importance of safety and environmental stewardship in the face of changing climatic conditions and potential hazards.

Dam Data Reference
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.
