Summary

This private Earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a length of 1275 feet, with a storage capacity of 106 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Grassy Flat Creek-OS and is under the jurisdiction of the Vicksburg District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Pleasant Valley Cc Lake Dam has not undergone a recent condition assessment and is not currently regulated or inspected by any state agency. The last inspection was conducted in 1981, and the dam has not been rated for its current condition. With a maximum discharge of 4310 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in the irrigation systems in the area, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and longevity.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Pleasant Valley Cc Lake Dam provides a fascinating case study of a privately-owned structure that serves a vital purpose in water management. The dam's location in Little Rock, Arkansas, and its history of completion over five decades ago, offer insights into the challenges and opportunities in maintaining aging infrastructure for sustainable water resource management. As efforts to address climate change intensify, understanding the role of dams like Pleasant Valley Cc Lake Dam becomes increasingly important in adapting to changing environmental conditions and ensuring the resilience of water systems in the region.

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.
