Summary
Built in 1954, this gravity dam stands at a height of 10 feet and spans 400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 730 acre-feet. The dam's purpose is to provide opportunities for recreational activities, drawing enthusiasts to its surface area of 200 acres and drainage area of 35 square miles.
Despite its age, Moyle remains in fair condition with a low hazard potential, as assessed in May 2020. Regular inspections have been conducted, with the last one dated back to August 2011. The dam has a controlled spillway and a maximum discharge capacity of 90 cubic feet per second, ensuring the safety and stability of the structure. While the risk assessment indicates a very high level of risk (1), there are no specific risk management measures mentioned in the data. Overall, Moyle serves as a vital resource for water enthusiasts in the area and continues to be a focal point for recreation and enjoyment along the South Fork Jump River.

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.
