Managed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam was completed in 1978 for flood risk reduction on the Tallahaga River. The dam stands at a height of 23 feet with a hydraulic height of 7 feet and a structural height of 21 feet, providing a storage capacity of 2080 acre-feet.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in 2014 rated it as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and upkeep. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and it lacks outlet gates, raising concerns about its ability to manage water flow effectively. With a drainage area of 5.12 square miles, the dam plays a critical role in managing water resources in the region, highlighting the importance of regular inspection and maintenance to ensure its reliability and safety for flood control and water resource management in the area.
