Summary
Managed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 54 feet and has a hydraulic height of 9 feet. Completed in 1965, it serves as a protective measure for the surrounding area, with a storage capacity of 4420 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 4935 cubic feet per second.
The dam on W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 19 plays a significant role in managing the water levels of ISABELL CREEK, providing essential flood protection for the residents of Pope County, Arkansas. With a spillway type designated as "Uncontrolled" and outlet gates also uncontrolled, the dam's hazard potential is considered to be significant. Despite being rated as having a moderate risk level, the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction.
In the event of an emergency, the preparedness and management measures at W Fork Pt Remove Creek Wid Site 19 are still under evaluation, with no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place as of the last inspection in 2015. With the potential to impact a large drainage area of 8 square miles, this dam remains a critical structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor closely, emphasizing the importance of proactive risk assessment and management strategies to safeguard the local community and environment.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
