2 (North) in Indiana, designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 1966, stands as a crucial structure regulating an unnamed tributary of Buckhart Creek. The dam primarily serves for recreational purposes, offering a surface area of 4.6 acres with a normal storage capacity of 45 acre-feet. With a height of 33 feet and length of 180 feet, it plays a vital role in water resource management in Johnson County, Indiana.
Despite its essential function, Willoughby Dam No. 2 (North) has been assessed as being in poor condition, with a low hazard potential but a high risk level. The last inspection in 2015 highlighted the need for maintenance and improvements to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. The dam's location in Amity, Indiana, underlines the importance of ongoing monitoring and management to safeguard against potential risks and ensure the safety of surrounding communities.
As a privately owned dam under state regulation and inspection, Willoughby Dam No. 2 (North) serves as a critical infrastructure for recreational activities while also posing challenges in terms of maintenance and risk management. With its historical significance dating back to the 1960s, the dam's maintenance and upkeep remain imperative to ensure its continued functionality and safety for all water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
