Summary
The dam is privately owned and stands at a height of 25 feet, with a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and does not fall under state jurisdiction for inspection or regulation.
Situated on TR-LINN CREEK, Dure Lake Dam offers a surface area of 3 acres and drains an area of 110 acres. With a maximum storage capacity of 40 acre-feet, the dam provides a vital water resource for the local community. Although the dam lacks a spillway type and has not been inspected or assessed for its condition, it continues to play a crucial role in water management and recreation activities in the region.
Owned by a private entity and falling under the Rock Island District of the USACE, Dure Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With its unique design as an earth dam supported by buttresses, the dam stands as a testament to engineering innovation and environmental stewardship. Despite the lack of regulatory oversight, the dam's role in water supply and recreation underscores the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring of critical infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
