Summary
The dam is of earth type, with a height of 9 feet and a length of 5350 feet, providing a storage capacity of 210 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is to support fish and wildlife habitats in the area, making it a vital resource for conservation efforts.
Managed by the Arizona Department of Water Resources, Jacques Marsh is subject to state regulations and inspections to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam has a significant hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment, with a high risk rating of 2. Despite its remote location, the dam serves as a critical water resource for the surrounding ecosystem and contributes to the overall water management efforts in the region.
With its strategic location in Show Low, Arizona, Jacques Marsh plays a crucial role in water conservation and wildlife preservation. The dam's design and construction adhere to state permitting and inspection requirements, highlighting its importance in maintaining a sustainable water supply for the local community. As a key component in the region's water infrastructure, Jacques Marsh stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to balance water resource management and environmental conservation.

Dam Data Reference
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.
