Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a maximum storage capacity of 1903 acre-feet and a normal storage of 30 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Hurricane Creek-TR, under the jurisdiction of the Little Rock District.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment rating, Sixmile Creek Wid Site 23 has not been inspected since January 2015, with no condition assessment or emergency action plan in place. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated locks or drainage area specified. Its risk management measures, if any, remain undisclosed. Given its age and lack of recent inspections, it is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the maintenance and safety protocols surrounding this dam to ensure its continued functionality and protection against potential flooding events.
