Built in 1954, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 17 feet and serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with a storage capacity of 117 acre-feet. The dam spans a length of 710 feet and overlooks the TR-Bull Creek, providing water resources to the surrounding area.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the Strickland Irrigation Pond Dam has not been rated for its condition. The dam has not been inspected since July 2010, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. Despite the lack of recent inspections, the structure remains in operation for irrigation purposes, with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates. This dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the Claxton Environs, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring its structural integrity for climate resilience and sustainable water use.
