Bradley Dam No 1 dam
Bradley Dam No 1
Bradley Dam No 1, located in Worth, Missouri, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1992 for grade stabilization along the TR-MIDDLR FORK GRAND RIV. The dam stands at 25 feet high and spans 400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 49 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 320 cubic feet per second. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam has a low hazard potential and is considered to be in moderate risk of failure.
With its primary purpose being grade stabilization, Bradley Dam No 1 serves as a vital infrastructure for managing water resources in the area. The dam, made of stone core and built on a soil foundation, plays a crucial role in controlling water flow, preventing erosion, and ensuring the safety of the surrounding community. While it has not been rated for condition assessment, the dam is well-maintained and poses no immediate threat to the environment or public safety.
In terms of emergency preparedness, Bradley Dam No 1 does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, indicating a potential area for improvement in risk management. However, the dam's overall risk assessment is deemed moderate, reflecting a need for continued monitoring and maintenance to mitigate any potential hazards. As a significant structure in the Rock Island District, Bradley Dam No 1 underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.

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 Bradley Dam No 1
Where does the data for Bradley Dam No 1 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 Low 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.
