Summary
This dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction in the area, with a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 16 feet. It has a maximum storage capacity of 5 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 3 acre-feet, with a maximum discharge of 130 cubic feet per second.
The dam, with a length of 150 feet, was last inspected in May 2004 and has a significant hazard potential. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, it is regularly inspected every 3 years. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared, and there are no inundation maps or risk assessment available for the site. The dam's risk management measures and overall risk character summary are also not provided in the data.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to recognize the importance of proper regulation and maintenance of dams like Buzianis Db to ensure public safety and mitigate potential hazards. The significant hazard potential of this dam highlights the need for proactive risk assessment and emergency preparedness measures to address any potential risks associated with its operation. Further monitoring and assessment of the dam's condition and hazard potential are essential to safeguard the surrounding community and water resources.

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.
