Lake Roberts Dam, located in Grant, New Mexico, is a state-owned structure with a primary purpose of recreation.
Built in 1963 by Chambers & Campbell and later updated by AECOM in 2014, this earth dam stands at a height of 64 feet and spans 401 feet in length. The dam offers a storage capacity of 2982 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 61.2 acres, providing a scenic destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Situated on Sapillo Creek, Lake Roberts Dam is regulated by the Office of the State Engineer, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment remains fair as of April 2020. With a moderate risk level, the dam has not experienced significant modifications in recent years and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway system. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently undetermined, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and preparedness measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of this vital water resource infrastructure.
