Standing at a height of 25 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and serves the surrounding area with a normal storage of 25 acre-feet. With a surface area of 3 acres and a drainage area of 150 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and recreational activities in the region.
Despite being privately owned, the Crystal Lakes Sec 31 Dam is not regulated or inspected by any state agency, indicating a low hazard potential and a lack of formal assessment of its condition. This earth dam with buttress core types has not been formally rated for its condition, and there is no emergency action plan in place. The dam serves as a vital infrastructure for the community, providing opportunities for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities in the area.
The Crystal Lakes Sec 31 Dam's location along the TR to Fishing River, in the Rock Island District, adds to its appeal for water resource and climate enthusiasts. While there are no specific details on its construction year or any modifications made over the years, the dam continues to stand as a testament to human engineering and the importance of managing water resources for both recreational and practical purposes.
