Summary

Completed in 1968, the dam serves a primary purpose that falls under the "Other" category. With a normal storage capacity of 18 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 20 acre-feet, this earth dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.

The dam, located in Congressional District 04 of Washington state, is under the regulatory oversight of the Washington Department of Ecology. Despite being categorized as having a high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment as of May 2016 was deemed satisfactory. Regular inspections, with a frequency of every 5 years, help ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and risk assessment information for the dam are currently not available, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and preparedness for any potential emergencies.

Del Monte Foods INC's involvement in water resource management through the operation of this dam underscores the company's commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, initiatives like these play a crucial role in ensuring the resilience of our water resources. With proper maintenance and adherence to regulatory standards, Del Monte Foods INC's dam serves as a vital component of the region's water infrastructure, contributing to both water security and climate adaptation efforts.

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.
