The earth dam stands at 17 feet high and spans 700 feet across Mill Creek, providing storage of up to 299 acre-feet of water. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment due to its age and condition being marked as "Not Available".
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 100 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 650 cubic feet per second. While the dam is not under the regulatory jurisdiction of any state agency, it falls under the purview of the USDA NRCS and has not been inspected recently. With a limited amount of data available regarding its current condition and emergency preparedness, Brown and Cross Lake Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of monitoring and maintaining critical infrastructure to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.
