Completed in 1989, this earth dam stands at 41 feet tall and spans 300 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 3 acre-feet. The dam's spillway, classified as uncontrolled, has a width of 3 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 160 cubic feet per second.
Despite its satisfactory condition assessment in 2007, Wildhorse Creek Parkway Dam has a high hazard potential and is subject to regular inspections by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG. The dam's risk assessment is moderate, with emergency action plans last revised in 2014. In the event of an emergency, contacts and inundation maps are yet to be updated, highlighting the importance of ongoing risk management measures for this vital infrastructure. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Wildhorse Creek Parkway Dam a key piece in the region's flood protection efforts.
