Summary

This Earth dam stands at a height of 14.6 feet and has a hydraulic height of 8 feet, with a structural height of 14.6 feet. The dam's storage capacity is 193 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 22 acre-feet and a drainage area of 2.4 square miles. The dam also features a controlled spillway with a width of 9 feet, and a low hazard potential rating.

The dam's condition assessment was rated as fair during its last inspection in May 2020, with an inspection frequency of 10 years. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam poses a very high risk, which is classified as a risk level 1. The emergency action plan (EAP) for the dam was last revised in January 2005, and it is currently unclear whether the EAP meets guidelines or if inundation maps have been prepared. The risk management measures and risk characterization summary for the dam are also not available at this time.

Overall, Huebner Zippmore Estate, LLC serves as an important water resource in the area, providing storage for flood control and water supply purposes. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find the data on this dam intriguing, as it highlights the complexities and challenges associated with managing and regulating dams to ensure public safety and environmental protection. Further research and monitoring of this dam could provide valuable insights into the management of water resources in Wisconsin and beyond.

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.
