W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 07 dam
W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 07
W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 07 is a flood risk reduction structure located in Conway, Arkansas, specifically in Appleton. Built in 1963 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 38 feet and has a hydraulic height of 34 feet, serving the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along Shaw Creek. With a normal storage capacity of 85 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 4561 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding.
Despite its age, W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 07 remains a vital asset in the local water resource infrastructure, with a hazard potential rated as high and a moderate risk assessment. The dam has not been officially assessed for its condition, but it is regularly inspected by the ANRC to ensure its structural integrity and effectiveness in flood control. With a drainage area of 3.8 square miles and a storage capacity of 1645 acre-feet, this dam is an essential component in the overall management of water resources in the region.
As a key feature in the flood risk reduction strategy for the area, W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 07 stands as a testament to the importance of proper water resource management and infrastructure. With its stone core and uncontrolled spillway, this dam represents a critical piece of the puzzle in safeguarding the local community against the threat of flooding. With ongoing inspections and regulatory oversight, this structure continues to play a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of the surrounding area in the face of potential water-related challenges.
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 07
Where does the data for W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 07 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 High 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.
