Designed by USDA NRCS, this structure stands at a hydraulic height of 23 feet and has a length of 1675 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 534 acre-feet. Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam has been assessed as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk rating, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Sixmile Creek Wid Site 25 has not been subject to state regulation or inspection, highlighting the responsibility of the private owner in maintaining its condition. While the dam's condition is currently unrated, its risk assessment suggests a moderate level of concern, warranting the development of emergency action plans to mitigate potential hazards. With Congressman Bruce Westerman representing the area, stakeholders and water resource enthusiasts are encouraged to stay informed about the ongoing management and maintenance of this important flood risk reduction infrastructure in Franklin County, Arkansas.
