Completed in 1900, this earth dam stands at a height of 50 feet and has a storage capacity of 385 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam is assessed to be in satisfactory condition, with a high hazard potential due to its location on TR-REALL CREEK.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 3 feet and has a surface area of 16 acres, serving a drainage area of 0.3 square miles. Its primary purpose is for water supply, with a normal storage capacity of 321 acre-feet. The dam is subject to regular inspections, with the most recent assessment in September 2020 rating its condition as satisfactory. While the risk assessment categorizes the dam as having a moderate risk level, appropriate risk management measures are in place to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. Wildlife and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the strategic importance of Deerfield Reservoir #6 Dam in water resource management and its role in sustaining the local ecosystem.
