Summary

This earth dam was completed in 2008 with a height of 30.6 feet and a length of 682 feet, creating a storage capacity of 53.6 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission.

Despite being rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, the hazard potential of Angela Muse Pond Dam is listed as "Undetermined." This means that the risk associated with the dam is not fully assessed or understood. The dam does not have an emergency action plan prepared or regularly updated, which raises concerns about its readiness in case of a potential failure.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and assess the condition of structures like Angela Muse Pond Dam to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the integrity of the water system. The lack of a clear risk assessment and emergency plan highlights the importance of proactive measures to mitigate potential hazards and protect the environment.

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. 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

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, 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.
