Deer Park Wastewater Storage Lagoon No dam
Deer Park Wastewater Storage Lagoon No
Deer Park Wastewater Storage Lagoon No, located in Spokane, Washington, serves as a vital water resource facility for the local community. Owned by the Local Government and regulated by the Washington Dept of Ecology, this lagoon was completed in 1997 and has a maximum storage capacity of 94 acre-feet. The lagoon, with a structural height of 10.85 feet and a hydraulic height of 42.85 feet, plays a crucial role in managing wastewater and protecting the environment.
With a drainage area of 0.02 square miles and associated with Tr-Dragoon Creek, Deer Park Wastewater Storage Lagoon No is designed as an Earth dam with Rockfill core types. The facility is inspected regularly, with the last assessment in May 2019 indicating a fair condition. However, it has a high hazard potential, emphasizing the importance of maintaining its structural integrity. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, this lagoon underscores the intersection of water resource management and environmental stewardship in the face of climate change challenges.
Deer Park Wastewater Storage Lagoon No embodies the critical role that water infrastructure plays in safeguarding communities and ecosystems. As a state-regulated facility with a clear purpose of water management, it stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between local governments and regulatory agencies to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources. With ongoing inspections and risk assessments, this lagoon serves as a model for effective water resource management in the context of evolving climate conditions and environmental concerns.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Deer Park Wastewater Storage Lagoon No
Where does the data for Deer Park Wastewater Storage Lagoon No come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the High hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
