Summary
Conservation Park Dam, located in Red Rock Reservoir, Iowa, was completed in 1961 by the USDA NRCS for the primary purpose of recreation. The dam stands at a height of 27 feet and stretches 430 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 93 acre-feet. The dam is constructed of earth materials and is regulated by the Iowa DNR, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Warren Co. Conservation Park Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. While the dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are currently not available, the dam serves as an important recreational resource for the community, offering a surface area of 5.7 acres for activities like fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. Positioned along the TR-Squaw Creek via Lake Ahquabi, the dam adds to the natural beauty of the area and provides a tranquil setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
