Clr Water Holding Pond Dike 1 dam
Clr Water Holding Pond Dike 1
Clr Water Holding Pond Dike 1, located in Jefferson, Arkansas, is a vital structure regulated by the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission. Completed in 1979, this earth dam stands at a height of 69 feet, with a hydraulic height of 38 feet and a structural height of 44 feet. The dam has a length of 2100 feet and provides a maximum storage capacity of 854 acre-feet, with a normal storage capacity of 1550 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 52 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential, Clr Water Holding Pond Dike 1 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, with a drainage area of 0.1 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 2056 cubic feet per second. The dam serves various purposes beyond flood control, showcasing its importance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts. Although its condition assessment is currently marked as 'Not Rated', the dam's last inspection in August 2010 ensures that it continues to function effectively.
With its strategic location along the Arkansas River, Clr Water Holding Pond Dike 1 is a key component in the region's infrastructure, ensuring water security and environmental sustainability. As a publicly-owned utility structure, the dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between state and federal agencies to safeguard water resources and mitigate climate-related risks. Its role in flood control, water storage, and environmental protection underscores the importance of such structures in ensuring a resilient and sustainable future for communities in the area.
Dam data reference
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 Clr Water Holding Pond Dike 1
Where does the data for Clr Water Holding Pond Dike 1 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.
