Summary
Standing at 26 feet high with a hydraulic height of 20 feet, this dam offers a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 5 acres. With a drainage area of 0.4 square miles, Pluemer serves various purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond in addition to recreation.
Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Pluemer has a low hazard potential and is currently in fair condition as of the last assessment in 2020. While the dam boasts a moderate risk level, it has not been modified in recent years and does not have a designated Emergency Action Plan (EAP). Despite these factors, the dam's inspection frequency is set at 10 years, ensuring its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Pluemer's location on TR GRANT river, in proximity to the Rock Island District, makes it an essential water resource for the community. With its recreational value and crucial role in fire protection and stock maintenance, Pluemer stands as a testament to sustainable water management practices in Wisconsin.

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.
