This private dam, designed by the SCS, stands at a height of 22.1 feet with a storage capacity of 100.7 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Gilley Lake Dam is not currently regulated by the state but undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.
The dam, primarily made of earth with a buttress core type, spans 642 feet in length and has a surface area of 9.2 acres. Its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates contribute to its low hazard potential. The surrounding area benefits from the water storage provided by Gilley Lake Dam for fire protection and recreational purposes. Despite its moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of the structure and the community it serves.
