Summary
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
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.
