Completed in 2000, this earth dam stands at a height of 34.4 feet, with a structural height of 37 feet and a length of 400 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 61 acre-feet and a normal storage of 17 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 8 acres and drains an area of 900 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam poses a moderate risk due to its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates. The condition of Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam R-41 is currently not rated, and it has not undergone a recent inspection as of November 2000. The dam is not state-regulated, inspected, or enforced, and does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. However, its primary purpose of flood risk reduction highlights its importance in protecting the surrounding area from potential water-related disasters.
