Built in 1957 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this Earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet and stretches 515 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 109 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and recreation, making it a vital resource for the local community.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Weil faces a moderate risk level due to its outdated inspection date of January 1, 1980. This risk assessment underscores the importance of conducting regular inspections and implementing proper risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam. With a drainage area of 0.11 square miles and a maximum discharge of 630 cubic feet per second, Weil plays a crucial role in managing water resources and supporting the surrounding ecosystem.
With Martha Roby as the Congressional representative overseeing the area, Weil stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between federal and state agencies in maintaining water infrastructure. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the preservation and upkeep of dams like Weil are essential in safeguarding the environment and enhancing resilience against future challenges.
