Summary

Completed in 2001, this earth dam stands at a height of 43 feet and spans 650 feet, with a storage capacity of 112 acre-feet for water supply purposes. Situated on the TRIB Drury Creek, it serves as a vital resource for the surrounding area, with a hazard potential rated as high and a moderate risk assessment score of 3.

The dam's spillway type is listed as uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge capacity of 1223 cubic feet per second. Despite its high hazard potential, the condition assessment is currently listed as not available, with the last inspection date recorded in June 2017. While an emergency action plan was prepared in 1998, there is no information available on its current status or adherence to guidelines. The risk management measures for this dam remain unspecified, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of this crucial water resource infrastructure.

With its strategic location in Jackson County, Illinois, the Stone Creek Golf Club Lake Dam plays a key role in water supply and management for the local community. As climate change impacts water resources and infrastructure resilience, understanding and addressing the potential risks associated with this dam are essential. Ongoing inspections, risk assessments, and emergency preparedness efforts are critical to safeguarding the surrounding area from potential hazards and ensuring the long-term sustainability of this important water storage facility.

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.
