With a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 14 feet, this earth dam spans 505 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 52 acre-feet. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential and being in good condition, the dam has not been regularly inspected or assessed for risk.
While the dam does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, it is situated within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are currently unknown, suggesting potential gaps in preparedness and response strategies. With its picturesque location and ample storage capacity, the Scott Paper CO Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring water resources for both recreational and safety purposes in the face of changing climate conditions.
