Summary
Completed in 1948, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 9 feet and a structural height of 11 feet, with a length of 1385 feet. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 37 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 51 acre-feet, serving as a vital source of water for recreational activities in the area.
Despite being privately owned, Meyers Lake Dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its current condition. The dam overlooks Hurricane Creek-OS and is under the jurisdiction of the state of Arkansas. With no associated structures and no state regulation or inspection, Meyers Lake Dam provides a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy the beauty of nature while engaging in recreational activities.
In the event of any emergency, the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status is not rated, indicating a need for further preparedness measures. With its strategic location and historical significance, Meyers Lake Dam continues to be a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of Saline County, Arkansas.

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.
