Summary
Built in 1952, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 36 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is for irrigation, but it also serves fire protection, stock, fish and wildlife, and other purposes.
Despite its low hazard potential, Love Ex 11-14 is currently in poor condition, as assessed in August 2018. The dam has a moderate risk rating of 3, indicating some level of concern for potential hazards. The inspection frequency is every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in August 2018.
With a spillway width of 130 feet and a maximum discharge of 2211 cubic feet per second, Love Ex 11-14 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. However, its current state raises concerns about its long-term reliability and safety. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find this dam's condition and risk assessment intriguing, as it highlights the challenges faced in maintaining aging infrastructure in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
