Summary
23, also known as Pigeon Creek Flowage, is a state-owned dam located in Jackson, Wisconsin. This dam was completed in 1937 and serves the primary purpose of recreation, providing a surface area of 34 acres for outdoor activities. The dam has a height of 8.2 feet and a hydraulic height of 6 feet, with a storage capacity of 170 acre-feet.
Despite its recreational benefits, Resettlement Admin. 23 poses a high hazard potential due to its condition assessment being rated as fair. The dam is regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR) and undergoes inspections every two years to ensure its safety. With a very high risk assessment rating of 1, it is crucial for proper risk management measures to be in place to mitigate any potential dangers associated with this dam.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Resettlement Admin. 23 becomes increasingly vital. By staying informed about the condition of such structures and implementing effective risk management strategies, water resource and climate enthusiasts can help ensure the safety and sustainability of these essential components of our environment.

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.
