Summary
This Earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and spans 220 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 45 acre-feet. Despite its undetermined hazard potential and lack of a formal condition assessment, the dam is inspected annually to ensure safety and compliance with state regulations.
With its primary purpose and specific design details undisclosed, Rolling Hills Park Dam remains shrouded in mystery for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The dam's location in the Wilmington District and its proximity to the confluence of various streams make it an intriguing subject for further exploration. As the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures are yet to be disclosed, there is a sense of anticipation regarding its resilience in the face of potential hazards.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the significance of structures like Rolling Hills Park Dam becomes more pronounced. The dam's role in water storage and management, as well as its potential vulnerabilities, highlight the importance of ongoing monitoring and assessment. For enthusiasts interested in the intersection of water resources and climate adaptation, Rolling Hills Park Dam offers a compelling case study in resilience and risk management.

Dam Data Reference
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.
