Summary
Standing at a height of 18 feet, this dam serves a primary purpose that is not clearly defined in the available data. With a storage capacity of 138 acre-feet, Seals South Dam plays a critical role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite lacking specific details on its construction year and purposes, Seals South Dam remains a key feature in the local water infrastructure. With a hazard potential that is currently undetermined and a condition assessment that is not rated, the dam's safety and maintenance status are areas for further investigation. The structure's emergency action plan (EAP) status, risk assessment, and management measures are also areas that require attention to ensure the continued safe operation of Seals South Dam.
Situated in the Baltimore District, Seals South Dam's location and specifications make it a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts. As more data becomes available and assessments are conducted, a clearer picture of the dam's role in water management and potential risks will emerge, providing valuable insights for stakeholders and the community alike.

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.
