Summary

This earth dam, standing at a height of 50 feet, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along with offering recreational opportunities. With a storage capacity of 1655 acre-feet and a drainage area of 3 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in managing the water flow of Tenny Creek.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission, E Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 08 has a significant hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Although its condition assessment is not rated, the dam is inspected periodically, with the last inspection conducted in July 2015. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, providing a controlled release of water during high flow events to prevent downstream flooding.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find E Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 08 an intriguing structure that combines engineering excellence with environmental stewardship. As a vital component of the flood risk reduction infrastructure in the area, this dam showcases the importance of sustainable water management practices in safeguarding communities from the impacts of extreme weather events and climate change. With its historical significance and ongoing maintenance efforts, this dam stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of our water resource management systems in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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. 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

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, 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.
