Summary

The dam, primarily owned by a private entity, stands at a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 17 feet, with a length of 240 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 51 acre-feet and a normal storage of 29 acre-feet, the dam plays a significant role in water resource management in the region.

Although not regulated by the state, Tall Timber Lake Dam is classified as having a significant hazard potential. The condition assessment for the dam is currently listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation of its structural integrity. Despite its age, the dam continues to play a crucial role in providing water supply to the surrounding area and remains an important asset for climate and water resource enthusiasts to monitor.

As a key feature in the Brodie Creek watershed, Tall Timber Lake Dam has a rich history and continues to be a focal point for water resource and climate discussions. With its unique design and purpose, the dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate patterns. Its location in Little Rock, Arkansas, makes it a valuable site for researchers and enthusiasts alike to study and appreciate the intersection of water resources and climate.

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.
