Summary
Completed in 1958, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 58 acre-feet. Situated along TR Clarks Creek, the dam serves as a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy outdoor activities in the Linn County area.
Managed by the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Dr Charles Martin Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Although not regulated by the state, the dam provides valuable recreational opportunities for the local community and visitors alike. With a surface area of 6 acres and a drainage area of 220 acres, the dam contributes to the environmental landscape of the region.
Despite lacking specific spillway information and inspection dates, Dr Charles Martin Dam remains an important feature in the Missouri water resource system. With its scenic location and diverse wildlife, the dam continues to attract individuals interested in exploring the intersection of water resources and climate dynamics. As a key element in the local ecosystem, the dam serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
