W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 18 dam
W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 18
W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 18, located in Pope, Arkansas, is a key flood risk reduction structure managed by the local government. Designed by USDA NRCS and regulated by the ANRC, this earth dam stands at a height of 71 feet and was completed in 1967. With a storage capacity of 6769 acre-feet and a drainage area of 13.8 square miles, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water flow along Isabell Creek.
Despite its low hazard potential, W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 18 has a moderate risk rating, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and management. The dam's condition is currently not rated, with its last inspection dating back to July 2013. While the dam has an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, it does not have any associated locks. With a focus on flood risk reduction, this structure serves as a vital component of the water resource infrastructure in the region, helping to protect communities from potential flooding events.
Overall, W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 18 is a significant earth dam that contributes to the overall water management system in Pope, Arkansas. With its strategic location and design, this structure plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks and ensuring the safety of nearby residents. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the importance of maintaining and monitoring this dam for effective risk management cannot be understated.
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 18
Where does the data for W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 18 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.
