Summary
Standing at a height of 25.21 feet, the dam serves primarily for recreational purposes along the TR-Thorton River. With a storage capacity of 106.95 acre-feet, it provides essential water resources for the surrounding area while also offering a surface area of 9.51 acres for recreational activities.
Despite its undetermined hazard potential and lack of a condition rating, Liverman Dam remains a vital asset for water management and outdoor recreation in the region. The dam's earth structure and hydraulic height of 25.21 feet reflect its design focus on sustainability and safety. While specific construction and modification details are undisclosed, the dam's presence plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and water supply network.
Although Liverman Dam's risk assessment and emergency action plans are yet to be fully documented, its importance as a recreational and water resource facility cannot be understated. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding and monitoring the condition of structures like Liverman Dam is essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of water management systems in the face of changing environmental conditions and demands.

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.
