Summary

It serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a normal storage capacity of 96.8 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Jackson Creek and covers a surface area of 11.6 acres with a drainage area of 1.18 square miles.

This dam, with an undetermined hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," has not been inspected in recent years. It does not fall under state jurisdiction, regulation, inspection, enforcement, or permitting. The dam has no associated structures or outlet gates, and its spillway type and spillway width are not specified. The risk assessment, emergency action plan (EAP), inundation maps, and risk management measures for Jeanelle Hutchingson Pond Dam are either not available or not up to date, indicating a potential need for further evaluation and mitigation strategies to ensure public safety and environmental protection for this water resource in Arkansas.

Enthusiasts of water resources and climate may find Jeanelle Hutchingson Pond Dam a point of interest due to its unique design and purpose, as well as the lack of recent assessments and emergency preparedness measures. The dam's location on Jackson Creek in Cleburne, Arkansas, presents an opportunity for further research and monitoring to assess any potential risks and improve the overall management of this water infrastructure. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding the condition and safety of dams like Jeanelle Hutchingson Pond Dam becomes crucial for sustainable water management 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.
