With a height of 70 feet and a length of 550 feet, this earth dam holds a storage capacity of 392 acre-feet, making it a significant infrastructure for managing water resources in the region. The dam is situated on Lime Canyon, and its primary purpose is to provide water for the UNINCORPORATED RESIDENTS DOWNSTREAM OF DAM.
Despite its age, Bradner Dam has undergone regular inspections and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in March 2019. It is regulated by the OFFICE OF THE STATE ENGINEER and meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. The dam's spillway, with a width of 50 feet, is uncontrolled, and it has a high hazard potential. While the risk assessment categorizes the dam as moderate, it is essential for local authorities to continuously monitor and maintain the structure to ensure the safety of downstream residents and the efficient management of water resources in the area.
