Summary

This structure is regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR) and meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. The dam, with a height of 16.3 feet and a hydraulic height of 8 feet, plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, with a storage capacity of 107 acre-feet and a normal storage of 29 acre-feet. The dam also has a low hazard potential and is assessed to be in fair condition as of August 2020.

Located on a navigable tributary to the Suamico River, Blazie Investments serves as an essential component of water management in the region, with a surface area of 7.3 acres and a drainage area of 0.3 square miles. The structure, completed in an unspecified year, has a length of 400 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 52 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential, regular inspections are conducted every 10 years to ensure the dam's continued functionality and safety. The last inspection took place in July 2020, with a fair condition assessment reported in August of the same year.

Blazie Investments, owned by a private entity, stands as a vital asset for water resource management in Wisconsin. With its compliance with state regulations, including permitting and inspection requirements, the dam plays a significant role in flood control and water storage in the region. Its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment demonstrate its reliability and importance in maintaining the ecological balance and water security of the area.

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.
