Summary

With a hydraulic height of 6 feet and a structural height of 10 feet, this dam stands at a length of 1300 feet and has a storage capacity of 166 acre-feet. Located on the Bayou Meto-TR river, this dam plays a significant role in water resource management in the area.

Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Dupree Lake Dam has been identified as having a significant hazard potential. However, its condition assessment is labeled as "Not Rated", and there is no information available on emergency action preparedness or risk management measures. The dam's maximum discharge capacity is 741 cubic feet per second, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring to ensure its safety and integrity.

With its strategic location and crucial role in irrigation, Dupree Lake Dam serves as a key infrastructure for water resource management in Pulaski County. As a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts, further evaluation and monitoring of this dam's condition and risk management measures are essential to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
