Booneville Reservoir Dam dam
Booneville Reservoir Dam
Booneville Reservoir Dam, located in Logan, Arkansas, is a picturesque arch dam completed in 1929 with a primary purpose of recreation and water supply. The dam stands at a height of 45 feet and has a hydraulic height of 43 feet, creating a reservoir with a maximum storage capacity of 278 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is state regulated and inspected to ensure its structural integrity and safety for both residents and visitors.
Booneville Reservoir Dam is situated on Booneville Creek and covers a surface area of 16 acres, providing a tranquil setting for outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, and picnicking. The dam's normal storage capacity is 230 acre-feet, serving as a vital water supply for the surrounding area. Managed by the local government, the dam is also a popular recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking a peaceful retreat in nature.
With its scenic location and historic significance, Booneville Reservoir Dam offers a unique blend of natural beauty and functional infrastructure. As a state-regulated and inspected structure, the dam ensures the safety of its visitors while providing essential water resources for the region. Whether you're interested in exploring its architectural design or simply enjoying the recreational opportunities it offers, Booneville Reservoir Dam is a must-visit destination for those passionate about water resources and climate conservation.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Booneville Reservoir Dam
Where does the data for Booneville Reservoir Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
