Summary
Rechard to mitigate flood risks along the Burning Coal Bank Draw. Completed in 1980, this 23-foot tall structure serves a primary purpose of flood risk reduction and features a stone core and soil foundation. With a normal storage capacity of 76 acre-feet and a spillway width of 105 feet, Barnds Stock received a fair condition assessment during its last inspection in September 2021.
Despite its low hazard potential, Barnds Stock is subject to state regulation and inspection, ensuring its continued safety and effectiveness in managing the local water resources. The dam's moderate risk assessment highlights the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks and ensure the structure's long-term reliability. As a key component of flood risk reduction efforts in the area, Barnds Stock plays a crucial role in safeguarding the community from water-related disasters.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the design, function, and condition of structures like Barnds Stock is essential for effective water management and disaster preparedness. By staying informed about the details and performance of dams like this one, enthusiasts can contribute to efforts to protect both the environment and local communities from the impacts of extreme weather events and changing climate patterns.

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.
