Summary

This Earth-type dam, completed in 1985, serves multiple purposes including water supply for the surrounding area. The dam has a hydraulic height of 31 feet and a storage capacity of 19 acre-feet, providing crucial water storage for the region.

The dam is regulated by the Washington Dept of Ecology and is subject to state inspection and enforcement. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential and not yet assessed for condition, it remains a vital piece of infrastructure for the community. With a surface area of 1.8 acres and a drainage area of 0.01 square miles, the dam plays a significant role in managing water resources in the area.

Although the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain risk management measures, such as an Emergency Action Plan, it continues to stand as a reliable structure that contributes to the water management efforts in Snohomish County. The location of the dam along Chaplain Creek-Offstream underscores its importance in maintaining water supply and mitigating potential risks in the region.

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.
