Built in 1992 by MCNALLEY AND PATRICK INC., this dam serves primarily for fire protection, stock, and as a small fish pond. With a height of 42 feet and a hydraulic height of 35 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 600 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 27 acres. The dam is situated on the Little Springs Branch and is regulated by the state jurisdiction.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, Little Springs Farm Lake Dam No. 2 has not undergone a condition assessment and its emergency action plan is not rated. The dam has not been inspected since September 2005, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the dam is considered to meet guidelines for emergency action plans and has not had inundation maps prepared, there are no specific risk management measures identified for this structure. Overall, this dam presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its unique design and purpose, as well as the potential risks associated with its operation and maintenance.
