Summary
The primary purpose of the dam is to serve as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, with additional purposes including Fire Protection, Stock, Or Small Fish Pond, and Recreation. With a height of 14 feet and a length of 450 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 89 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.13 square miles. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, indicating the need for continued monitoring and risk management measures.
Conservation Lake, situated on the TR-Stallings Creek, falls under the jurisdiction of the Natural Resources Conservation Service and is not regulated by the state. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet and has no associated locks. While the condition assessment of the dam is currently not rated, it is important to note that the last inspection date and inspection frequency are unknown. The dam's risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level, underscoring the importance of implementing risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
Despite its low hazard potential, Conservation Lake presents a moderate level of risk, necessitating ongoing monitoring and risk management efforts to prevent any potential issues. As a vital resource for fish and wildlife, fire protection, and recreational activities in the area, it is imperative to maintain the dam's structural integrity and safety standards. With its rich history dating back to 1967, Conservation Lake continues to serve as a valuable asset for the community, highlighting the significance of responsible water resource management and conservation practices in the face of changing climate 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.
