The dam stands at a height of 7 feet with a hydraulic height of 4.3 feet and a length of 36 feet. It has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet and a drainage area of 3.4 square miles, with a maximum discharge of 322 cubic feet per second. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the dam is deemed to have a very high risk due to its condition assessment being not rated.
This dam is under the jurisdiction of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR), which regulates, permits, inspects, and enforces standards for its operation. The last inspection of Clark County 1 was conducted in September 2009, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 10 years. While the dam has not been assessed for its condition recently, it is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor its risk level and management measures in light of its potential impact on the surrounding area in the event of an emergency.
With its controlled spillway and surface area of 14 acres, Clark County 1 serves as a crucial recreational structure in the region. As a part of the Detroit District and Congressional District 07 of Wisconsin, this dam plays a significant role in providing recreational opportunities while also posing potential risks that should be carefully managed and monitored by relevant authorities and stakeholders in the water resource and climate community.
