This earth dam with a height of 20 feet and a hydraulic height of 16 feet holds a maximum storage capacity of 86 acre-feet. Although it is not regulated by the state, the dam is managed by a private owner and has a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment score of 3.

Owned by a private entity, Outz Dam was designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and is solely dedicated to recreational purposes. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam spans a length of 480 feet and covers a surface area of 8 acres. Despite not being subject to state inspections or enforcement, the dam's condition is currently listed as not rated, indicating that further assessments may be needed to ensure its long-term safety and functionality.

While Outz Dam does not have associated structures or a designated inspection frequency, its risk management measures and emergency action plan status are unspecified.
