Summary
Located in Reynolds County near the town of Centerville, the dam is situated on the TR-Bee Fork river/stream and is under the jurisdiction of the Little Rock District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure and currently not rated for condition assessment, the Fletcher Tailings Pond Dam remains an important feature in the local water resource landscape. With a normal storage capacity of 68 acre-feet and drainage area of 111 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage in the region. Although it is not subject to state regulation, inspection, or enforcement, the dam's role in water resource management cannot be understated, especially in the context of climate change and unpredictable weather patterns.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to keep a close eye on structures like the Fletcher Tailings Pond Dam to ensure their continued safety and effectiveness in managing water resources. While the dam may currently have a low hazard potential and is not subject to state oversight, it remains a key component in the local water infrastructure. Monitoring the dam's condition and potential risks, especially in the face of changing climate conditions, will be essential in ensuring the safety and efficiency of water management practices in the region.

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.
