Standing at a height of 32 feet and stretching 800 feet in length, this earth dam on Bull Mtn Creek has a storage capacity of 1199 acre-feet and plays a significant role in the local ecosystem. Despite being uncontrolled, the dam boasts a spillway width of 60 feet to manage water flow effectively.
With a drainage area of 3.91 square miles and a maximum discharge of 800 cubic feet per second, Mobley Dam presents a moderate risk level in terms of hazard potential. However, its condition remains unrated, highlighting the need for further assessment and potential risk management measures. As a private-owned structure, the dam is not under state jurisdiction or regulation, emphasizing the importance of private ownership in maintaining and managing water resources effectively. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Mobley Dam stands as a testament to the essential role of private entities in preserving and enhancing natural habitats for wildlife and recreation.
