F-2, also known as French Lick Creek F-2, is a local government-owned dam located in Orange County, Indiana. Completed in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 41 feet with a structural height of 39 feet. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving the unnamed tributary of French Lick Creek and surrounding areas.
With a maximum storage capacity of 472 acre-feet and a normal storage of 21 acre-feet, Svcd Structure No. F-2 covers a surface area of 6 acres and has a drainage area of 1.73 square miles. Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment as of January 2016, the dam poses a high risk due to its surrounding environment. While it currently has no spillway and outlet gates, inspections are conducted every five years to ensure its continued safety and efficacy in flood control.
Overall, Svcd Structure No. F-2 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region, supported by state-regulated operations and maintenance. Its strategic location and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service make it an essential asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in sustainable infrastructure for flood risk reduction in Indiana.
