Summary

Built in 1970, the dam has a storage capacity of 125 acre-feet and serves primarily for recreational purposes. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is not currently rated for its condition and has not undergone recent inspections or assessments.

Owned privately, Arnoname 24 stands as a testament to the diverse water resource infrastructure in the region. With its earth dam type and impressive length of 1000 feet, the dam provides a valuable recreational outlet for residents and visitors alike. While lacking in formal regulatory oversight and inspection, the dam's historical significance and role in the local community are undeniable.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Arnoname 24 offers a glimpse into the complexities of managing and maintaining dams for recreational purposes. Its location in Conway County, Arkansas, and association with the Little Rock District highlight the interconnected nature of water resource management in the region. As efforts continue to assess and improve the condition of dams like Arnoname 24, a deeper understanding of their role in sustaining both the environment and local communities emerges.

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.
