Summary
Standing at a height of 21 feet with a hydraulic height of 19 feet and a structural height of 23 feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing the waters of the 90 square mile drainage area it serves. With a storage capacity of 87.2 acre-feet and a normal storage of 22.5 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 3.4 acres and has a maximum discharge capacity of 387.9 cubic feet per second.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Big Creek-Hurricane Creek B- 36 has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is no information available on its emergency action plan or inundation maps. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 20 feet and has not undergone any modifications since its completion. Owned by the local government, this dam serves a primary purpose of flood risk reduction and is operated without state regulation, inspection, or enforcement. With a congressman representative of Sam Graves (R) and located in S14, T54N, R23W, this dam stands as a testament to effective water resource management 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.
