The dam stands at 26 feet high and spans 400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 38 acre-feet. Despite being unregulated by the state, Roach 005 serves multiple functions including fire protection, stock watering, and as a small fish pond.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Roach 005 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 260 cubic feet per second. While the dam has not been inspected in recent years, its risk management measures and emergency action plan status remain unknown. As a key structure in the Rock Island District, Roach 005 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area and mitigating potential flooding risks along Hickory Creek.
