Schroeder Lake No 2 Dam dam
Schroeder Lake No 2 Dam
Schroeder Lake No 2 Dam, located in White County, Arkansas, was completed in 1969 and is owned by a private entity. The dam, designed by the USDA NRCS, stands at a height of 18 feet and spans 400 feet in length. Its primary purpose is for recreation, offering a serene environment for visitors to enjoy water activities and scenic views.
Despite being privately owned, Schroeder Lake No 2 Dam is not regulated or inspected by state authorities, highlighting the importance of self-monitoring and maintenance by the owner. The dam has a significant hazard potential, signaling the need for proper risk management measures to ensure the safety of surrounding areas in case of emergencies. While the condition of the dam is currently not rated, it is crucial for the owner to regularly assess its structural integrity to prevent any potential risks.
With a storage capacity of 600 acre-feet, Schroeder Lake No 2 Dam provides a vital source of water for recreational use in the area. The dam's location on Cane Creek-Os offers a tranquil setting for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding landscape. As interest in water resources and climate conservation grows, maintaining the safety and efficiency of dams like Schroeder Lake No 2 Dam becomes increasingly important to preserve both the environment and recreational opportunities for future generations.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Schroeder Lake No 2 Dam
Where does the data for Schroeder Lake No 2 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
