Built in 1960 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this structure stands at a height of 22 feet and spans a length of 821 feet, providing a storage capacity of 224 acre-feet. Although the dam is classified as low hazard potential, it has not been rated for condition assessment since its last inspection in 1992.
Despite being unregulated by the state and lacking a permit for operation, Barber Creek WS Str #26 serves as a vital component in managing flood risks in the area. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and the outlet gates are also uncontrolled, indicating a potential need for updates to meet modern safety standards. With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, there may be room for improvement in risk management measures and emergency action planning for this water resource structure.
