With a significant hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, this earth dam stands at a height of 100 feet and has a hydraulic height of 95 feet. It serves primarily for tailings storage, with a storage capacity of 512 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 358 acre-feet. The dam has a controlled spillway type with a width of 64 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 110 cubic feet per second.
Despite being in a state regulated and permitted area, Mulberry (9) has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is no information available on its last inspection date or emergency preparedness measures. The dam's risk management measures and inundation maps are also not prepared, leaving the surrounding area potentially vulnerable in case of a dam failure. As a water resource and climate enthusiast, understanding the infrastructure and risks associated with dams like Mulberry (9) is crucial for ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water resources in the face of changing climate patterns.
