W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 13 dam
W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 13
W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 13, located in Conway, Arkansas, is a fish and wildlife pond with an earth dam that was completed in 1966 by the USDA NRCS. The dam stands at a height of 65 feet and has a hydraulic height of 57 feet, providing a storage capacity of 3,248 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this structure is to support fish and wildlife activities in the area, making it a valuable resource for conservation efforts.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam at W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 13 is deemed to have a moderate risk level, indicating the need for careful monitoring and maintenance. The structure has not been rated for its condition assessment, with the last inspection conducted in July 2015. While the dam has uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, it is still subject to state regulations and inspections to ensure its functionality and safety for the surrounding environment.
With a drainage area of 7.2 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 4,466 cubic feet per second, W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 13 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, structures like this fish and wildlife pond serve as vital components of sustainable water management practices, supporting biodiversity and ecological health in the area.
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 13
Where does the data for W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 13 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.
