Built in 1992 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 23.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 163 acre-feet. It serves multiple purposes, including flood risk reduction and providing habitat for fish and wildlife in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been inspected since September 1999. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, there is a need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and lack of outlet gates pose potential risks that need to be addressed to prevent any unforeseen emergencies. Overall, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T- 34 serves as a crucial infrastructure for the community and environment, but proper maintenance and monitoring are essential to keep it safe and functional for years to come.
