Summary
Built by USDA NRCS, this private earth dam serves primarily as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, with additional purposes including Fire Protection, Stock, Small Fish Pond, and Recreation. The dam has a storage capacity of 52 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.22 square miles, making it a valuable resource for the local ecosystem.
Despite being privately owned, the dam is regulated and inspected by the state, ensuring its structural integrity and safety. It features a buttress core type and has an outlet gate for water management. While the dam does not have a spillway, it is rated as having a high risk potential (2) due to its age and condition assessment. With no documented hazard potential and a lack of updated emergency action plans, there may be some concerns regarding the dam's ability to withstand extreme weather events and protect downstream areas.
As a key component of the Hubbard Creek watershed, Jackson Brothers Dam No 1 serves an important role in providing water for wildlife and recreational activities in the region. However, with its risk assessment indicating a high level of concern, it is essential for the owners and regulators to prioritize necessary maintenance and emergency preparedness measures to safeguard the surrounding community and environment from any 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.
