Summary
This dam, primarily used for tailings purposes, stands at a height of 100 feet with a hydraulic height of 95 feet and a structural height of 105 feet. It spans a length of 3274 feet and has a storage capacity of 256 acre-feet. The dam is situated on an unnamed pond and is regulated by the state, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement all being conducted by state agencies.
Despite not having a condition assessment rating, Bradley Jxn 3 is classified as having a significant hazard potential and a very high risk level. It features a controlled spillway with a width of 64 feet and a maximum discharge of 110 cubic feet per second. The dam's surface area covers 13 acres, with a drainage area of 12.8 square miles. The dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have associated structures or outlet gates.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Bradley Jxn 3 to be a noteworthy structure due to its size, purpose, and risk level. With its location in a high-risk area and significant hazard potential, monitoring and management of this dam are crucial for ensuring the safety of the surrounding community and environment. The presence of state regulations and oversight further emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance and emergency preparedness for this vital water resource infrastructure.

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.
