Summary
This dam, with a height of 30 feet and a length of 317 feet, serves as a vital water resource structure on the TR-Washburn Arroyo, providing a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet and covering a drainage area of 1076 acres. Despite its relatively low hazard potential and not being state-regulated, the dam is equipped with one outlet gate and has a high risk assessment rating of 2.
The primary purpose of Jim Campbell Dam 2 is designated as 'Other', suggesting its multi-functional role in water management and conservation efforts. Although not rated for its condition assessment and lacking emergency action plans, the dam remains operational and plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and storage in the region. While it may not have a spillway or regular inspection schedules, the dam's presence signifies the importance of private initiatives in managing water resources and climate adaptation strategies in the face of increasing environmental challenges.
This dam, situated within the Tulsa District, highlights the collaborative efforts between private owners and federal agencies in maintaining critical infrastructure for water resource management. With its significant history and essential role in the regional water system, Jim Campbell Dam 2 stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource practices and the need for continuous monitoring and maintenance to ensure its long-term functionality and resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
