Summary
Built in 1972, this Earth dam structure stands at a height of 34 feet and has a length of 1140 feet, with a storage capacity of 560 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the pond is to support fish and wildlife conservation efforts, making it an essential asset for the local ecosystem.
Managed by the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission (ANRC), Greers Ferry Nursery Pond plays a crucial role in maintaining the biodiversity of the area. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated, the pond is deemed safe for operation. Although the last inspection was conducted in 2007, the state agency ensures that the pond meets regulatory standards through regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement measures. Furthermore, the pond is pumped from Greers Ferry, highlighting the interconnectedness of water resources in the region.
As a key component of the local water infrastructure, Greers Ferry Nursery Pond provides not only habitat for fish and wildlife but also recreational opportunities for the community. With its strategic location and significant surface area of 20 acres, the pond serves as a valuable resource for climate enthusiasts and water conservation advocates alike. Its role in sustaining the ecosystem and supporting biodiversity underscores the importance of responsible water management practices in ensuring a sustainable future for the region.

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.
