Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 46 feet and has a hydraulic height of 16 feet, with a storage capacity of 7363 acre-feet. The dam spans a length of 2297 feet along the West Fork Point Remove Creek, providing protection to the surrounding area covering a drainage area of 17.3 square miles.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission, W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 01 is classified as having a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment. The dam, constructed primarily with stone core material, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction with a focus on protecting the local community from potential inundation. Despite not currently being rated for its condition assessment, regular inspections are conducted to ensure the structure's integrity and safety for the area it serves.
While lacking formal emergency action plans and inundation maps, W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 01 remains a crucial infrastructure asset in the region. With a maximum discharge capacity of 6880 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a vital role in mitigating flood risks and safeguarding the community against potential water resource challenges. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding and monitoring structures like W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 01 are essential in adapting to changing environmental conditions and ensuring sustainable water management practices in 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.
