Barney Mills Pond Dam dam
Barney Mills Pond Dam
Barney Mills Pond Dam, located in Conway, Arkansas, was completed in 2009 with a primary purpose of serving as an Earth dam for water resource management on the Brock Creek - TR. Owned privately, this dam stands at a height of 26.4 feet and has a length of 351 feet, creating a storage capacity of 37.5 acre-feet with a surface area of 4.6 acres. Despite being unregulated by the state and having an undetermined hazard potential, this dam plays a crucial role in the local water infrastructure.
Although Barney Mills Pond Dam is not under state jurisdiction or regulation, it remains an essential structure for water control and management in the region. With a focus on serving as an Earth dam for various purposes, including water resource management, this dam offers a storage capacity of 37.5 acre-feet and covers a drainage area of 0.27 square miles. Situated in a picturesque location in Conway, this dam is an integral part of the local water system and contributes significantly to the overall water resource infrastructure.
While Barney Mills Pond Dam has not been rated for its condition or hazard potential, its completion in 2009 marked a significant milestone in water management in the area. As a privately owned structure with no state regulation, this dam continues to play a vital role in water resource management on the Brock Creek - TR. With its storage capacity, surface area, and strategic location in Conway, Arkansas, Barney Mills Pond Dam remains a key asset for local water enthusiasts and climate advocates alike.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Barney Mills Pond Dam
Where does the data for Barney Mills Pond Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Undetermined hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
