Summary

The dam, classified as an earth dam, stands at a height of 100 feet with a hydraulic height of 95 feet and a structural height of 105 feet. It has a storage capacity of 1792 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 1254 acre-feet. The dam's drainage area is 89.6 square miles, and it has a controlled spillway with a width of 64 feet.

With a significant hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, Bradley Junction S (Ctr) poses a potential threat in the event of a dam failure. Despite its risk level, the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation and monitoring. The dam does not have an emergency action plan (EAP) in place, which is essential for ensuring preparedness and response in case of an emergency.

Located in a critical area for water resources and climate considerations, Bradley Junction S (Ctr) serves as a reminder of the importance of proper dam management and maintenance. With its unique characteristics and risk profile, this dam highlights the need for ongoing inspection, assessment, and emergency preparedness to safeguard both the surrounding community and 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.
