Summary
3, is a vital structure owned by the local government in Kitsap, Washington. Designed by Montgomery Water Group, this earth dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction for the surrounding area. The dam, completed in 2006, stands at a hydraulic height of 34 feet and a structural height of 14.5 feet, with a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet and a surface area of 1.2 acres.
Situated along Charleston Creek-Offstream, the West Hills Stormwater Pond Dam is regulated by the Washington Department of Ecology and undergoes regular inspection to ensure its fair condition and high hazard potential are closely monitored. With a drainage area of 0.5 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing stormwater and reducing the risk of flooding in the region. Its location in Congressional District 06, Washington, underscores its importance in protecting the local community and environment.
As a key infrastructure for flood risk reduction, the West Hills Stormwater Pond Dam exemplifies the collaborative efforts between local government and regulatory agencies to safeguard the community from potential hazards. The dam's design, construction, and operation reflect a commitment to environmental stewardship and public safety, showcasing the importance of sustainable water resource management in mitigating the impacts of climate change. Its strategic location and effective maintenance underscore the critical role that dams play in enhancing resilience to extreme weather events and ensuring the long-term sustainability of water resources in the region.

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.
