This private earth dam, with a height of 25 feet and length of 370 feet, serves the primary purpose of grade stabilization along the TR-Durgens Creek. With a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 315 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have moderate risk due to its condition assessment being labeled as "Not Rated." The spillway, designed as uncontrolled with a width of 50 feet, helps mitigate potential flooding events. The dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are currently unknown, highlighting the need for further assessment and preparation to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
Overall, Durgens Creek Watershed Dam 42 stands as a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure, providing essential grade stabilization and flood control along the creek. Continued monitoring and maintenance efforts will be key in safeguarding the surrounding community and environment from potential risks associated with the dam.
