Completed in 1958, this earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a storage capacity of 255 acre-feet, serving a drainage area of 51.2 square miles. With a spillway width of 115 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 5900 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in managing floodwaters and protecting surrounding areas.
Despite its age, Lost Cr Pilot Watershed Dam F-4 is deemed to have a high hazard potential due to its condition assessment being "Not Rated". The last inspection was conducted in 1979, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level, there is no documented risk management plan in place. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and contact information for emergency situations are also not updated, raising concerns about its readiness in the face of potential disasters. As an enthusiast for water resources and climate, monitoring and advocating for the proper maintenance and management of this dam is essential to ensure the safety and resilience of the community it serves.
