Summary
This privately owned earth dam, with a height of 25 feet, has a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 7 acres. The dam is situated on TR to North River and falls under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential and not rated for condition assessment, Vannoy East Lake Dam plays a vital role in supporting irrigation activities in the region. With a normal storage capacity of 49 acre-feet and a drainage area of 52 square miles, the dam also provides recreational opportunities for the local community. While the dam has not been inspected recently and lacks updated emergency action plans, its significance in water resource management cannot be overlooked.
As a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts, Vannoy East Lake Dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices. Its presence not only supports agricultural activities but also contributes to the overall ecological balance in the area. With ongoing discussions on dam safety and regulatory measures, staying informed about structures like Vannoy East Lake Dam is crucial for understanding the intersection of water resources and climate dynamics in the region.

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.
