Built in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and stretches for 1600 feet, creating a reservoir with a normal storage capacity of 1220 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 1670 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-Black Creek and is under state regulation, with inspections and enforcement processes in place to ensure its safety.
Despite its recreational appeal, Lake Asbury Dam poses a high hazard potential and was rated as unsatisfactory during its last condition assessment in September 2020. Emergency action plans were prepared, with the latest revision in August 2021, but further guidelines on EAP compliance and risk management measures are yet to be detailed. With a drainage area of zero and a maximum discharge capacity of 660 cubic feet per second, the dam's critical condition highlights the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks and ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment.
