Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet with a structural height of 25 feet and a length of 300 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 51 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 35 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition is currently not rated, indicating a need for further assessment and maintenance.
Managed by a private owner, Myers Lake Dam has not undergone state regulation, permitting, inspection, or enforcement. With a designated spillway width of 0 feet and no outlet gates, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment remain unclear. However, its location in White County, Arkansas, under the jurisdiction of the Little Rock District, makes it a valuable asset for both recreational activities and potential flood control measures. Enthusiasts interested in water resources and climate in the region can appreciate the significance of Myers Lake Dam in supporting the local ecosystem and enhancing outdoor recreational experiences.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
