Completed in 1999 by USDA NRCS designers, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a length of 410 feet. Serving primarily for flood risk reduction, it also aids in fire protection, stock, fish and wildlife pond purposes.
With a maximum storage capacity of 55 acre-feet and a normal storage of 17 acre-feet, this dam sits on a drainage area of 295.04 square miles. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the structure has not been rated for its condition. The spillway, which is uncontrolled and 30 feet wide, can discharge up to 130 cubic feet per second. Although the dam does not have outlet gates or associated structures, it remains a vital component in managing water resources in the area.
