This earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet with a structural height of 34 feet and a length of 200 feet, providing storage capacity for 26 acre-feet of water. The dam's spillway, which is uncontrolled and 30 feet wide, helps manage a maximum discharge of 192 cubic feet per second.
Despite its significant hazard potential, Buck & Doe Run Watershed Dam 37 has not been rated for its current condition, and there is no established inspection frequency in place. The dam, with a moderate risk assessment score of 3, lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated emergency contacts. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding and debris buildup, emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance and risk management measures to ensure its long-term reliability and safety for the community and ecosystem.
