This earth dam, primarily designed for recreation, holds a storage capacity of 77 acre-feet of water. Situated on the TR-Little Bernard Creek, the dam lacks a spillway and has no associated locks or discharge outlets. Despite its low hazard potential and lack of a condition rating, the dam is considered to have a high risk level due to its risk assessment score of 2.
The dam's owner is listed as private, with no state regulation or enforcement involved in its operations. While it is permitted and inspected by the state, there is no designated regulatory agency overseeing its activities. The dam's foundation type is unknown, and its core is buttress, suggesting a stable structure. With a risk management plan yet to be specified and no emergency action plan in place, the dam poses a potential risk to the surrounding area in case of failure. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Conner Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study in dam safety and risk assessment.
