Summary

This Earth dam, standing at a height of 26 feet, serves the primary purpose of irrigation along the TR-Wichita River. With a storage capacity of 215 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1200 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area.

Despite its importance, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, and its hazard potential is deemed as "Not Available." However, the risk assessment suggests a high risk level (2), highlighting the need for further evaluation and potentially implementing risk management measures. As climate change continues to impact water resources, monitoring and maintaining structures like Hardeman County Roadside Erosion Site III-2 become increasingly crucial to ensure their effectiveness and safety in the face of changing environmental conditions.

With its location along the TR-Wichita River and its significant storage capacity, Hardeman County Roadside Erosion Site III-2 stands as a vital infrastructure for irrigation in the region. As climate enthusiasts and water resource experts, it is important to keep a close eye on the maintenance and evaluation of such structures to adapt to the evolving climate challenges and ensure sustainable water management practices for the future.

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.
