W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 05 dam
W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 05
W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 05 is a vital flood risk reduction structure located in Van Buren, Arkansas, along the Brock Creek. Built in 1963 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 66 feet and has a hydraulic height of 19 feet. With a storage capacity of 5119 acre-feet and a drainage area of 15.1 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 05 is maintained to meet state regulatory standards, with regular inspections and enforcement measures in place. The dam serves as a key asset for the local government, providing flood risk reduction benefits to the surrounding area. It has a moderate risk assessment rating and is designed to manage maximum discharge levels up to 11,030 cubic feet per second, ensuring the safety and protection of downstream communities.
As an essential infrastructure for water resource management, W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 05 demonstrates the importance of strategic flood risk reduction measures in safeguarding communities and enhancing climate resilience. With its critical role in protecting against potential inundation and supporting emergency response efforts, this dam exemplifies the intersection of water resource management, climate adaptation, and community safety in the face of changing environmental conditions.
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 W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 05
Where does the data for W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 05 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.
