Summary
This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a length of 480 feet, offering a storage capacity of 101 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 102.4 square miles, it serves the primary purpose of Grade Stabilization to control erosion and sedimentation in the area.
Managed by the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Clay Township Site 002-1 is categorized as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk level, with a maximum discharge capacity of 320 cubic feet per second. Despite being in good condition and not rated for its assessment, the dam is not currently subject to state regulation, inspection, or enforcement. It does not have an Emergency Action Plan in place or updated inundation maps prepared.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the importance of Clay Township Site 002-1 in managing the flow and sedimentation of TR-LITTLE MEDICINE CREEK. As a critical infrastructure for Grade Stabilization, this dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from erosion and maintaining water quality. Its low hazard potential and moderate risk level highlight the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
