This earth dam, with a height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 134 acre-feet, is situated on TR to Clear Creek and covers a surface area of 10 acres within a drainage area of 75 square miles. Despite not being regulated or inspected by state authorities, the dam is classified as having low hazard potential.
The dam, designed as a buttress-type structure, has not been assessed for its current condition, emergency action plan preparedness, or risk management measures. With no spillway and outlet gates, the dam's maximum discharge capacity and modification history are unspecified. While the associated risk assessment and hazard potential remain unknown, the dam continues to serve the local community as a recreational water resource for fishing and boating activities. Although the structure's maintenance and safety protocols are not fully documented, it stands as a testament to the historical significance of water management in the area.
