Summary

Designed by Mid South Engineering, the dam stands at a height of 12 feet with a length of 600 feet, providing a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and a surface area of 5.6 acres.

With a spillway width of 50 feet and a maximum discharge of 436 cubic feet per second, Champion Clean Water Pond Dam is equipped with two uncontrolled outlet gates. While the dam is not regulated by the state, it undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The risk assessment for the dam indicates a moderate level of risk, requiring appropriate risk management measures to be in place.

Despite its private ownership, Champion Clean Water Pond Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, highlighting the importance of sustainable infrastructure for climate resilience. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the design, purpose, and maintenance of dams like Champion Clean Water Pond Dam is essential for promoting the conservation and responsible management of water resources.

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.
