The dam, designed by USDA NRCS, is an earth type structure with a height of 21 feet and a length of 930 feet. It has a storage capacity of 65.9 acre-feet and serves various purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond, and flood risk reduction.
Managed by the local government, this dam on Troublesome Creek is classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam has not been given a condition assessment rating and lacks an emergency action plan. Despite these limitations, the dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks and protecting the surrounding area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam R-33a is a significant structure contributing to the overall water management efforts in the region.
