Summary

The dam was designed by the Santa Fe Railroad and serves as a primary water supply source in the area. Completed in 1913, the earth dam stands at a height of 45 feet and has a storage capacity of 890 acre-feet, with a normal storage capacity of 612 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Spring Creek and covers a surface area of 97 acres, with a drainage area of 2.18 square miles.

Despite its age, Guthrie Country Club's dam is regularly inspected, with the last assessment conducted in November 2021, revealing a fair condition. The dam has a high hazard potential, given its location and the surrounding community. It features a controlled spillway and is equipped with emergency action plans to mitigate risks in case of emergencies. The risk assessment for the dam is classified as very high (1), indicating the need for vigilant monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts who value sustainability and environmental conservation.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
