Very good: The dam does not show evidence of any deficiency or has minimal confined deterioration considered normal or of no consequence.
Good: The dam shows evidence of only minor deterioration or deficiencies that do not affect the proper operation of its components.
Acceptable: The dam shows evidence of deterioration requiring repairs without however immediately endangering the structure; a dam in this state requires maintenance and repair work in the immediate or near future without which the dam would become increasingly vulnerable. The dam may also show evidence of deficiencies which do not affect its immediate safety but which require close monitoring.
Poor or undetermined: The dam shows evidence of single or multiple severe deterioration that could affect its stability or make certain parts inoperable, or the dam shows evidence of serious deficiencies likely to endanger its safety or the condition of the dam cannot be ascertained.
