Constructed in 1994 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at 23 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 21 feet and a structural height of 28 feet. With a storage capacity of 152 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 4.9 acres, the dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction in the area, protecting a drainage area of 180 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been inspected since November 2000 and its condition remains unrated. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet and is not equipped with outlet gates. The risk assessment for the structure is moderate (3) and it is not under the jurisdiction of the state regulatory agency. With its location in a rural area and the potential for future modifications or improvements, Big Creek-Hurricane Creek B- 58 presents an opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and engage in discussions about sustainable water management practices in the region.
