Summary

The primary purpose of this earth dam is for irrigation, with a dam height of 3 feet and a length of 90 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 2 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 47 cubic feet per second, making it a significant water resource in the area.

Despite not having a condition assessment rating, Bear Hollow Village, LLC is considered to have significant hazard potential. The dam has not been inspected for a while, with a frequency of every 2 years. Although it meets state regulations for permitting, inspection, and enforcement, there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place or updated contact information for emergencies. Overall, this water resource structure plays a crucial role in irrigation but lacks some key safety measures.

Located in a picturesque setting in Summit County, Bear Hollow Village, LLC serves as a vital water resource for the area. With its earth dam design and storage capacity, it supports agricultural activities and contributes to the local ecosystem. However, there is a need for regular inspections, hazard assessments, and emergency preparedness to ensure the safety and sustainability of this essential water infrastructure.

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.
