This earth dam, built in 1971 by the USDA NRCS, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, small fish pond management, flood risk reduction, and recreation. With a dam height of 33 feet and a storage capacity of 71 acre-feet, it covers a surface area of 4 acres and drains a 0.25 square mile watershed that feeds into the TR-Boyer River.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition has not been rated, and there is no information available on its last inspection date or frequency. The risk assessment for Dane Ridge Watershed Site D-2-2 is moderate, indicating a potential need for increased monitoring and management measures. The dam does not have a controlled spillway, which could pose challenges for managing water levels during periods of high discharge. Overall, this site presents opportunities for further study and potential enhancements to ensure its continued effectiveness in water management and protection of the surrounding area's ecosystem.
