The dam, primarily made of earth with a buttress core, was designed by Ronald Bivens and is not regulated by the state. It has a low hazard potential and is currently not rated for its condition.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the dam has a storage capacity of 39 acre-feet and serves the primary purpose of water resource management. Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam poses a moderate risk due to its location and design. The surrounding area, with a surface area of 26 acres and no designated drainage area, may be at risk in the event of a breach or failure.
While Robinson Lake Dam may not be subject to regular inspections or state regulations, its moderate risk level highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to recognize the potential hazards associated with dams like Robinson Lake and advocate for proactive measures to ensure their safety and integrity for the surrounding community and ecosystem.
