and S. #2, also known as Schrader, is a privately owned irrigation dam designed by Edward J. Currier and completed in 1950. This Earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet with a structural height of 38 feet and a length of 525 feet. It serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond, and irrigation, with a storage capacity of 504 acre-feet and a normal storage of 287 acre-feet.
The dam is situated on North East Creek and has a spillway width of 50 feet, with an uncontrolled spillway type. Despite being classified as low hazard potential with a fair condition assessment, the dam underwent its last inspection in September 2015. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are currently unspecified. The surrounding area is at a moderate risk level according to data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, making it a significant site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and study for potential future developments.
