Built in 1990 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-East Locust Creek. With a height of 28 feet and a length of 420 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 103 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres.
Despite being classified as low-hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level (3) due to its location and design. The spillway, with a width of 20 feet, is uncontrolled, allowing for a maximum discharge of 154 cubic feet per second. The dam has not been inspected since 1991, and its condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," highlighting the need for further evaluation and maintenance.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find East Locust Creek Watershed Dam E- 64 an important structure in the region's flood risk management efforts. With its strategic location and significant storage capacity, the dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding areas from potential inundation. However, continued monitoring and assessment of the dam's condition are necessary to ensure its long-term effectiveness and safety for the community.
