Summary
6, also known as Tanner, is a state-owned structure located in Jackson, Wisconsin, along the CREEK 29 2 TR MORRISON CREEK. This earth dam was completed in 1936 for the primary purpose of recreation, with a height of 10 feet and a length of 982 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 85 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 35 acre-feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 440 cubic feet per second.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Resettlement Admin. 6 is considered to have a very high risk level according to the data. The condition assessment in 2014 rated the structure as fair, and it undergoes inspections every 10 years. The dam is regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement responsibilities falling under the state jurisdiction. The risk management measures and emergency action plan status for Resettlement Admin. 6 are not specified in the available data.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Resettlement Admin. 6 an intriguing structure to study, given its historical significance and the various regulatory aspects associated with its operation and maintenance. Understanding the risk assessment and management strategies for this dam can provide valuable insights for ensuring the safety and sustainability of similar water infrastructure projects in the future. The location in Wisconsin's scenic landscape adds to the appeal of exploring the engineering and environmental aspects of Resettlement Admin. 6.

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.
