E Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 02 dam
E Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 02
E Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 02, located in Van Buren, Arkansas, is a local government-owned structure designed by USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along the East Fork Point Remove Creek. Completed in 1967, this earth dam stands at a height of 53.3 feet and has a structural height of 59 feet, providing a normal storage capacity of 355 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 12.6 square miles and a maximum discharge of 8642 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region.
The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, but it also serves recreational purposes, covering a surface area of 63 acres. Despite its low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the structure has not been rated for its condition. Last inspected in August 2015, the dam has uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, with no associated locks. While it meets state regulatory requirements for permitting, inspection, and enforcement, its emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unclear.
E Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 02, nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Morrilton, Arkansas, stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of local government and the Natural Resources Conservation Service in safeguarding the community from potential flooding events. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, this site offers a fascinating case study in dam engineering, flood management, and the intersection of environmental conservation and public safety. With its rich history, technical specifications, and regulatory compliance, this dam exemplifies the intersection of human ingenuity and nature's forces in creating sustainable water resource management solutions.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About E Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 02
Where does the data for E Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 02 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
