Summary

Completed in 1956, the earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet. With a surface area of 5.3 acres and a drainage area of 0.63 square miles, the dam sits on Coon Creek and serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities like fishing and boating.

Managed by the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission, Guerrero Lake No 2 Dam has a low hazard potential and is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its safety and functionality. While the dam has not been rated for its condition, its emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk assessment measures are currently unspecified. Despite its modest size and capacity, the dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities for locals and visitors alike, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate patterns.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor Guerrero Lake No 2 Dam and its surrounding area, the dam serves as a vital reminder of the interconnectedness between human activities and environmental health. With the potential for future modifications or enhancements to the dam's infrastructure, stakeholders and regulatory agencies must work together to ensure the long-term resilience and sustainability of this important water resource in Arkansas.

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.
