Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving the West Branch Fall River-TR with a storage capacity of 2356.08 acre-feet.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Frd No F-3 has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. With a normal storage capacity of 143 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 421 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
