Summary
Completed in 2007, this earth dam stands at a height of 33 feet and spans a length of 540 feet, with a storage capacity of 180.9 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this dam is flood risk reduction, although it also serves other purposes such as fire protection and providing habitat for fish and wildlife.
Situated along the TR-East Locust Creek, this dam is owned by the local government and is not regulated by the state. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. Despite not currently having an Emergency Action Plan in place, the East Locust Creek Watershed Dam E-108 remains a key asset in safeguarding the community against potential flooding events.
Under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District, this dam is a testament to collaborative efforts in water resource management. With its strategic location and important functions, the East Locust Creek Watershed Dam E-108 stands as a symbol of resilience and adaptation to climate challenges 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.
