This structure, standing at a height of 41 feet and with a length of 240 feet, serves as a crucial water resource management tool for the area. The dam has a storage capacity of 30 acre-feet and a spillway width of 46 feet, helping to regulate water flow in the TRIB BLUFF DITCH, a tributary in Schuyler County.
Managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, this dam is classified as low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment. Although the condition assessment is currently not available, inspections are conducted every 5 years to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. Despite its simple design of an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam plays a vital role in flood control and water storage in the region. With a primary purpose of "Other," Coal and Crane Creek Structure 9 remains an essential component of the local water resource infrastructure in Illinois.
