Clovertowne Lake Dam, located in St.
Wind
Humidity
Clair County, Illinois, was completed in 1984 and is owned privately. The dam, designed by THOUVENOT, WADE & MOERCHEN, stands at a height of 32 feet and spans 200 feet in length. Its primary purpose is for recreation, with a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 30 cubic feet per second. The dam is situated on the TRIB NEGRO HOLLOW CREEK and is regulated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment due to its lack of condition assessment data. The last inspection was conducted in October 2018 with a frequency of every 5 years. The spillway is uncontrolled, with a width of 9 feet, and the outlet gates are also uncontrolled. While an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is not available, the dam's risk management measures and inundation maps are yet to be prepared.
Overall, Clovertowne Lake Dam serves as a vital recreational resource in the area, offering a serene environment for outdoor enthusiasts. Its design and construction uphold safety standards, although there is room for improvement in terms of risk assessment and emergency preparedness. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the significance of maintaining and enhancing the functionality of such dams to ensure sustainable water management practices in the region.
