Constructed in 1969 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam structure stands at 69 feet in height and spans a length of 1450 feet. With a storage capacity of 7808 acre-feet and a drainage area of 14.2 square miles, this site on Prairie Creek serves a primary purpose of providing habitat for fish and wildlife.
Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the dam's condition has not been rated as of the last inspection in July 2015. With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, there are no Emergency Action Plans (EAP) prepared or updated for this site, raising concerns about its readiness in case of an emergency. However, the dam has not been modified in recent years, and with proper risk management measures in place, the site continues to serve its intended purpose.
Located within the Little Rock District and under the regulatory authority of the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission (ANRC), E Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 09 stands as a key feature in the local landscape. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and ensure the safety and functionality of such structures to protect both the environment and the surrounding community from potential hazards and risks associated with dam failure.
