The privately owned dam, with a height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet, is primarily used for recreational activities. Situated along the TR-Palmer Creek, the dam is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type.
Although the dam has a low hazard potential, it has not been rated for its condition assessment. The lack of state regulation, inspection, and enforcement raises concerns about the safety and maintenance of Reische Lake Dam. With no designated emergency action plan or updated contact information, there is a need for improved risk management measures to ensure the dam's integrity and the safety of the surrounding community.
Given its importance for fire protection and recreational purposes, stakeholders should advocate for increased oversight and regular inspections to address any potential safety risks associated with Reische Lake Dam. Collaboration between the private owner, local authorities, and regulatory agencies is crucial to enhance the dam's resilience and protect the water resources in the area.
