Built in 1913, this earth dam stands at a height of 50 feet with a structural height of 65 feet, containing a storage capacity of 4140 acre-feet. The dam spans 3880 feet in length and has a spillway width of 1095 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 40553 cubic feet per second.
Despite its historical significance, Miami Lake Dam No. 2 is currently facing challenges with a high hazard potential and poor condition assessment, as reported during the last inspection in June 2017. The dam's risk assessment is moderate, emphasizing the need for improved risk management measures to ensure public safety and environmental protection. With its critical role in water resource management, stakeholders and regulators must address these concerns to safeguard the dam's integrity and functionality for the future.
