Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and spans a length of 516 feet, providing a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam has not been rated for its condition, presenting a high risk level.
The dam, situated along the TR-ISLAND CREEK river or stream, does not have a spillway and features no outlet gates other than one. While the dam is not regulated by the state, it does undergo periodic inspections and permitting processes to ensure its safety and compliance with standards. The surrounding area benefits from the dam's functions, including fire protection, recreational activities, and support for local wildlife populations.
Wolfe Dam 2 serves as a vital resource for the community, offering a variety of benefits such as water storage, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. As an essential component of the local ecosystem, the dam requires ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks and ensure its continued effectiveness for both humans and wildlife alike.

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.
