Summary
Built in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet, primarily serving purposes such as fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment not yet rated, this dam is state-regulated by the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
Despite its relatively small size, Clark #2 plays a vital role in the local ecosystem and water management efforts, especially in times of need for fire protection and livestock watering. The dam's location and design make it a valuable asset to the community, providing essential water resources while also contributing to the overall environmental sustainability of the area. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, structures like Clark #2 become increasingly important in ensuring water security for both human and ecological needs.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of dams like Clark #2 is crucial in safeguarding our natural resources and adapting to a changing climate. By recognizing the role of such structures in water management, conservation, and resilience, we can work towards sustainable practices that prioritize the protection and stewardship of our precious water resources for future generations to come.

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.
