W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 09 dam
W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 09
W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 09 is a vital flood risk reduction structure located on Clear Creek in Pope County, Arkansas. Built in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 65 feet and has a hydraulic height of 18 feet, serving its primary purpose effectively. With a normal storage capacity of 2588 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 5456 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing flood risks in the area.
Despite being classified as having low hazard potential and a moderate risk level, W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 09 has not been rated for its condition. The last inspection of the dam took place in December 2015, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission for regulatory oversight. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unspecified, its strategic position and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service underscore its importance in protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the significance of W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 09 as a critical infrastructure piece in the region. With a history dating back to 1965 and a storage capacity of 4475 acre-feet, this dam on Clear Creek is a key player in flood risk reduction efforts. While it has not been inspected recently and lacks certain risk assessment details, its role in managing water flow and protecting the local area from potential inundation makes it a valuable asset worth monitoring and maintaining for the future.
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 09
Where does the data for W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 09 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.
