Standing at a height of 33 feet and a length of 630 feet, this structure on the TR-SOUTH WYACONDA RIVER has a normal storage capacity of 42 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 180 acres. Despite having a low hazard potential, it is categorized as high risk due to its condition not being rated and lacking important emergency preparedness measures.
Owned by a private entity, the Priebe Road Structure is not regulated by the state and has not undergone recent inspections or assessments. With no spillway and limited outlet gates, the dam presents potential risks in the event of a breach or overflow. Though it is not under the jurisdiction of the USACE, the structure's risk management measures and emergency action plans are lacking, pointing to a need for improved safety protocols and regular maintenance to ensure the community's safety and water resource sustainability in the face of changing climate conditions.
