Summary

Completed in 1964, this dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a hydraulic height of 12 feet, with a total length of 537 feet. It has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 34 acre-feet, serving as a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts in the area.

Situated on Rock Creek, this dam poses a high hazard potential and has not been rated for its current condition as of the last inspection in 1992. Despite its age, Twin Lakes Dam B remains a key recreational attraction in the region, drawing visitors to its serene surroundings and water activities. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are not available, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure safety and continued enjoyment for all who visit.

Although not under state regulation or jurisdiction, Twin Lakes Dam B is a vital part of the local landscape and contributes to the natural beauty of Little Rock. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to appreciate and support the upkeep of such structures to preserve the ecological balance and recreational opportunities they provide. With its rich history and potential risks, Twin Lakes Dam B serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible stewardship of our water resources for future generations to enjoy.

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.
