Summary
Completed in 1982, this earth dam stands at 40 feet high and spans 1880 feet, with a storage capacity of 2610 acre-feet. Despite being primarily used for flood risk reduction, this dam also offers recreational opportunities for the local community.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the ANRC, Fourche Creek Wid Site 19 has a significant hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. With a drainage area of 4.6 square miles and a maximum discharge of 2286 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. Although its condition assessment is not rated, regular inspections ensure the structural integrity of the dam to safeguard the community it serves.
With its strategic location and key role in flood risk reduction, Fourche Creek Wid Site 19 serves as a vital asset in water resource management for the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like this dam play a crucial role in mitigating potential risks and protecting communities from the adverse effects of extreme weather events.

Dam Data Reference
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.
