Summary
The earth dam, with a height of 25 feet, has a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 7 acres. It is situated on Towstring Creek in Carroll County and falls under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Clements Lake Dam has not been inspected or regulated by state agencies. Although it is privately owned, the dam has not undergone any modifications or updates in recent years. The emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk assessment for the dam are also unknown, indicating a lack of comprehensive monitoring and management practices.
Despite its limited capacity and lack of state oversight, Clements Lake Dam remains a crucial element in the local water resource infrastructure. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the dam's unique design and historical significance in the region make it a fascinating subject for further exploration and study.

Dam Data Reference
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.
