Built in 1936, this Earth dam serves the primary purpose of managing tailings and stands at a height of 110 feet, with a hydraulic height of 80 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 3648 acre-feet and a surface area of 80 acres, with a controlled spillway width of 42 feet.
With a high hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, Robinson Dam is regulated by the Colorado Division of Water Resources. Despite its age, the dam is in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in July 2020. It has undergone modifications in 1956 and 1981 for structural and mechanical improvements, ensuring its continued safety and functionality for the surrounding area and the East Fork Eagle River-Tr stream.
In the event of an emergency, an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) has been prepared, last revised in December 2017. The dam has one uncontrolled and one valve outlet gate, with an inspection frequency of one year to ensure its ongoing safety and compliance with regulatory standards. Robinson Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring such critical infrastructure in the face of evolving climate challenges.
