Summary

is a state-owned earth dam located in Nevada, Arkansas, with a primary purpose of water supply. Completed in 1956, this dam stands at a height of 14.2 feet and has a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 26.8 acre-feet. The dam spans a length of 250 feet and covers a surface area of 4.8 acres, serving as a vital resource for water management in the region.

Situated on the White Oak Lake-TR river stream, Arnoname 68 A.F.C. is under the jurisdiction of the Little Rock District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite its low hazard potential and current "Not Rated" condition assessment, there are no regular inspections or emergency action plans in place for this dam. With a maximum discharge capacity of 600 cubic feet per second, it is crucial to ensure proper maintenance and monitoring to mitigate any potential risks associated with this essential water infrastructure.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is imperative to stay informed about the status of dams like Arnoname 68 A.F.C. to safeguard our water supply and prevent any potential hazards. With its historical significance and ongoing importance for water management in the area, this dam serves as a reminder of the critical role that infrastructure plays in ensuring sustainable water resources 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. 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.
