Summary
Built in 1994 by the USDA NRCS, this structure serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond along the TR-DRY CREEK river or stream. With a dam height of 12 feet and a length of 1100 feet, Bryant H6 has a storage capacity of 132 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 16 acres. Its primary purpose is to support fish and wildlife habitats in the area.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Bryant H6 is considered to have moderate risk, with a risk assessment rating of 3. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 39 feet and a maximum discharge of 340 cubic feet per second. While it has not been officially inspected or assessed for its condition, Bryant H6 remains a key component in managing water resources and supporting biodiversity in the region. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Bryant H6 to be an intriguing site with its unique design and purposeful impact on the local ecosystem.

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.
