Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 26 feet and spans 310 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 29 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition, and its last inspection took place in July 2016.
While the dam poses a low risk of hazard, it lacks a formal condition assessment and Emergency Action Plan (EAP) preparation. The structure features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated locks or drainage area specified. The risk management measures and guidelines for emergency preparedness remain unclear, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and evaluation to ensure the dam's safety and integrity for both recreational and environmental purposes. As a site of potential interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts, Johnson Lake Dam invites further exploration and study into its design, operation, and risk management practices.
