About Bradley Dam No 1
The primary purpose of Bradley Dam No 1 is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Kenneth Bradley (private). It impounds the Tr-middlr Fork Grand Riv near Worth.
The dam stands 25 feet tall and stretches 400 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 49 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 57 square miles. Completed in 1992, the structure is 34 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
