Summary

With a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a structural height of 15 feet, the dam spans 475 feet and has a storage capacity of 68 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Doctors Creek-TR and serves as a vital water resource for the local community.

Despite its low hazard potential, No Name Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam does not fall under state regulation or inspection, and there is no emergency action plan in place. Although the dam has not been modified in recent years, it plays a critical role in water supply and recreational activities in the area. With its historical significance and importance for fire protection, the dam stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience in Arkansas.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the landscape of Sebastian County, the No Name Lake Dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human development and environmental stewardship. With its storage capacity, recreational opportunities, and historical significance, the dam embodies the interconnectedness of water management, community resilience, and sustainable use of natural resources. The dam's presence on Doctors Creek-TR not only provides essential water storage but also offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Arkansas's water infrastructure and the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures for the benefit of 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.
