"privateDamId":null, "projectDescription":"The Abiquiu Dam project is owned and operated by the Albuquerque District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The project includes a dam located on the Rio Chama in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, about 14 river miles upstream of the town of Abiquiu and 32 river miles from its confluence with the Rio Grande. Construction was completed in 1963 and primary project features include a zoned earthen embankment dam, gated outlet works to adjust operational water release into the Rio Chama; and rock-cut spillway to pass much larger, uncontrolled flows during extreme events. During flood events, the Abiquiu Dam project can be operated for flood risk reduction on its own or in conjunction with other dams to optimize upstream and downstream flood risk reduction within the Rio Grande Basin. In addition to the project\u2019s main purpose of flood risk reduction, it is also authorized for water supply, power generation; recreation; and fish & wildlife benefits.", "riskCharSummary":"Although the Abiquiu Dam project has successfully reduced flooding, it does not eliminate all flood risk caused by rain downstream of the dam or due to emergency operation of the project. During infrequent emergency operation, larger required releases through the project\u2019s gated outlet works would surpass downstream river channel capacity and flood low-lying areas along the Rio Chama and Rio Grande to Cochiti Lake. Additionally, at high lake levels portions of State Highway 84, upstream of the project near Ghost Ranch, and State Highway 96 may be flooded. Although the progression of events leading to much larger, uncontrolled flow through the spillway have never occurred, uncontrolled spillway flow could greatly surpass downstream channel capacity, flood low-lying areas along the Rio Chama and Rio Grande, and be life-threatening. Flood inundation caused by uncontrolled spillway flow could cause catastrophic downstream damages to residences and infrastructure (including levees) along the Rio Chama and Rio Grande to Cochiti Lake. Impacted communities include Abiquiu, Mendenales, Chamita, Hernandez, Ohkay Owingeh, Espa\u00f1ola, Santa Clara Pueblo, San Ildefonso Pueblo, and communities located in between.\n\nUSACE completed a risk assessment of the Abiquiu Dam project in 2019. Results generally characterize dam breach risk as LOW due to the combination of life loss consequences and low likelihood of dam breach occurring either during normal operations or as the result of an extreme event. Specifically, the occurrence of dam breach caused by seepage induced loss of earthen embankment material into the joints of the adjacent canyon abutment rock during high pools was identified. For high lake levels that can occur during normal operation or during an extreme event, the annual probability of dam breach due to seepage loss of embankment dam materials is estimated to be low (1 in 1,000,000). However, if a dam breach were to occur, flood inundation would be life threatening and cause catastrophic downstream damages to residences and infrastructure (including levees) along the Rio Chama and Rio Grande to Cochiti Lake. Impacted communities include Abiquiu, Mendenales, Chamita, Hernandez, Ohkay Owingeh, Espa\u00f1ola, Santa Clara Pueblo, San Ildefonso Pueblo, and communities located in between.", "riskManagementMeasures":"USACE strives to manage risk through application of several measures including inspections and instrument evaluations, assessments and studies, maintenance activities, and risk communication. Routine inspections and instrument evaluation are performed to monitor performance of the project. Special inspections or increased inspection frequency occurs during high pools, spillway flows, or in response to earthquakes or signs of distress. Comprehensive inspections occur annually, with more detailed inspections taking place every 5 years. Assessments occur every 10 years to compare original design and construction methods to modern standards. An Issue Evaluation Study was completed in 2019 to assess dam breach risk and included investigation of project features and installation of additional instruments to improve performance monitoring. Maintenance is routinely performed at the project and recent activities included replacement of damaged sections of air vent pipes, repair of deteriorated rock protection, and installation of new seepage monitoring instruments. A project to repair bulkhead gates and effort streamline instrument data collection is planned. Risk communication includes conducting tabletop emergency exercises with first responders and other Federal, State, and local agencies. Future risk communication activities include development of a formal risk communication plan and revisions to the Emergency Action Plan (EAP). Flood warnings to notify affected communities downstream of the project are coordinated with external entities.", "riverName":"RIO CHAMA", "separateStructuresCount":0, "sourceAgency":"US Army Corps of Engineers", "spillwayTypeId":3, "spillwayWidth":68, "stateFedId":"NM00001", "stateRegulatoryAgency":null, "stateRegulatedId":0, "structuralHeight":354, "submitDate":"2023-09-29T00:00:00.000Z", "surfaceArea":3900, "volume":11500000, "widthOfLocks":0, "secondaryWidthOfLocks":null, "yearCompleted":1963, "congDist":"Congressional District 03, New Mexico", "city":"ABIQUIU", "county":"Rio Arriba", "aiannh":null, "websiteUrl":"https://www.spa.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Recreation/Abiquiu-Lake/", "coreTypeIds":"3", "damTypeIds":"8", "fedConstructionIds":"1", "fedDesignIds":"1", "fedFundingIds":"1", "fedInspectionIds":"1", "fedOperationIds":"1", "fedOtherIds":"1", "fedOwnerIds":"1", "fedRegulatoryIds":"1", "formerNames":"Abiquiu Reservoir", "foundationTypeIds":null, "nonFederalDamOnFederalId":0, "designerNames":"CESPA", "otherNames":"Abiquiu Lake", "ownerNames":"USACE - Albuquerque District", "ownerTypeIds":"3", "primaryDamTypeId":8, "primaryOwnerTypeId":3, "primaryPurposeId":9, "purposeIds":"9;12;5;8", "dsacId":4, "femaRegion":"6", "lastEapExcerDate":"2020-07-28T12:00:00.000Z", "dataUpdated":"2025-05-16T12:00:00.000Z", "usaceDistrict":"Albuquerque District", "noConsequencesId":0, "secretaryAgricultureBuiltId":null, "nrcsWatershedAuthorizationId":null, "isAssociatedStructureId":"No", "fedRegulatedId":"Yes", "inundationNidAddedId":1, "damStatusId":2, "huc06":"130201", "doi_region":"UCB", "doi_region_name":"Upper Colorado Basin", "doi_region_number":7 }, "id":259043, "links":[ { "type":"application/json", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=json" }, { "type":"text/html", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=html" }, { "rel":"self", "type":"application/geo+json", "title":"This document as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/259043?f=json" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"application/ld+json", "title":"This document as RDF (JSON-LD)", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/259043?f=jsonld" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"text/html", "title":"This document as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/259043?f=html" }, { "rel":"collection", "type":"application/json", "title":"USACE Access2Water API", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr" } ] }
