St. Anthony Cons. Club. dam
St. Anthony Cons. Club.
The St. Anthony Conservation Club, located in Dubois, Indiana, is a private recreational facility that boasts a dam completed in 1931 along an unnamed tributary of Flat Creek. The dam, primarily used for recreation, stands at a height of 25 feet with a length of 350 feet, offering a storage capacity of 137 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 9 acres. Despite its historical significance and scenic surroundings, the dam's condition assessment in 2010 revealed poor structural integrity, posing a significant hazard potential.
The club's dam, regulated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, has undergone periodic inspections, with the last one conducted in December 2018. Its high-risk classification and poor condition underscore the urgent need for maintenance and potential rehabilitation to ensure public safety and preserve the environmental balance of the surrounding area. With no spillway and limited hazard management measures in place, the St. Anthony Conservation Club presents a unique challenge for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking to address aging infrastructure and mitigate potential risks associated with dam failure.
As water resource and climate advocates continue to monitor the St. Anthony Conservation Club dam's condition, efforts to implement necessary repairs and enhance emergency preparedness protocols are crucial to safeguarding the community and ecosystem. Collaboration among stakeholders, regulatory agencies, and conservation groups will be essential in developing a comprehensive risk management strategy that prioritizes the dam's structural resilience and long-term sustainability. With its picturesque setting and recreational importance, the St. Anthony Conservation Club serves as a focal point for proactive intervention and stewardship in maintaining water resources for future generations.
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 St. Anthony Cons. Club.
Where does the data for St. Anthony Cons. Club. 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 Significant 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.
