Completed in 1996, this dam serves primarily for grade stabilization purposes with a height of 30 feet and a length of 645 feet. It has a storage capacity of 61 acre-feet and a drainage area of 60 square miles, with a maximum discharge of 166 cubic feet per second. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 15 feet, and is classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment.
Managed by the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Roy Worrell is not state-regulated or permitted. Despite lacking recent inspection data, the dam's condition is assessed as not rated, with no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) currently in place. The risk management measures and inundation maps are also not readily available, indicating a need for further evaluation and preparedness. Enthusiasts of water resource and climate control will find Roy Worrell an intriguing structure with potential implications for water management and safety in the region.
