Summary
Built in 1980 for the primary purpose of grade stabilization along the TR-EAST LOCUST CREEK, this dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a total length of 610 feet. With a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet and a drainage area of 19.2 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and not currently rated for condition assessment, Jackson Twp No.Ca-29-6003-171-002-6 poses a moderate risk due to its location and the potential impact of a dam failure. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 40 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 320 cubic feet per second. While the dam has not been inspected recently, its emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unknown, raising concerns about its overall safety and maintenance.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and regulation of dams will find Jackson Twp No.Ca-29-6003-171-002-6 to be a significant structure in the Rock Island District. With its role in grade stabilization and water storage, as well as its potential risks and uncertainty regarding emergency preparedness, this dam serves as a focal point for discussion on the importance of effective dam maintenance and monitoring to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment.

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.
