Summary
This concrete structure, standing at a height of 9.8 feet with a hydraulic height of 8.8 feet, serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond along a tributary to Duck Creek. With a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet and a surface area of 20 acres, Carevic plays a crucial role in managing water resources and supporting local biodiversity.
Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Carevic has not been inspected since June 2011. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are also unclear. However, with a history of state regulation, permitting, and enforcement, there is a framework in place to ensure the safety and functionality of this essential water management structure. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the role Carevic plays in supporting the ecosystem and managing water flow in the region.
As a focal point for fish and wildlife conservation, Carevic presents an opportunity for further research and advocacy in sustainable water resource management. Its location in a scenic natural setting, combined with its vital function in the local ecosystem, makes it a prime example of the intersection between infrastructure and environmental stewardship. By staying informed about the maintenance and regulation of structures like Carevic, enthusiasts can contribute to the preservation of water resources and climate resilience in their communities.

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.
