Designed by USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at 34 feet high and spans 660 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 132.1 acre-feet and a drainage area of 350 acres. The dam is situated on TR-Troublesome Creek and is owned by the local government.
This dam, constructed with a stone core and soil foundation, features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk level, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T- 60 has not been assessed for its condition. With a relatively small surface area of 5 acres and a normal storage capacity of 33 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in flood mitigation efforts in the region. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find this structure to be a fascinating example of engineering ingenuity in managing water resources in the face of changing climatic conditions.
