Summary
This private earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 12 feet and has a length of 1500 feet, providing a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, with no recent inspection or emergency action plan in place.
Situated in White County, Arkansas, Troutman Lake Dam offers visitors a serene setting for outdoor activities and water recreation. While the dam lacks federal oversight and regulation, its primary purpose of recreation aligns with its tranquil surroundings. With a normal storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, the dam provides a vital resource for the local community and serves as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management in the region.
Although Troutman Lake Dam may not be subject to regular inspections or risk assessments, its role in providing recreational opportunities and water storage cannot be overlooked. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is crucial for stakeholders to prioritize the maintenance and safety of dams like Troutman Lake to ensure the long-term sustainability of water systems in the area.

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.
