Built in 1978, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 750 feet in length, holding a storage capacity of 189 acre-feet for its primary purpose as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. The dam's location on a tributary to Brown Creek contributes to its importance in maintaining water resources for the surrounding area.
Despite its low hazard potential, Arrowhead Dam has been assessed as being in poor condition as of December 2013. With a regular inspection frequency of 5 years, the dam's structural integrity and maintenance are of concern. The dam features outlet gates for controlled water release and a spillway width of 92 feet. While the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are not detailed, the need for continued monitoring and potential improvements to ensure its reliability and safety for water resource and climate enthusiasts is evident.
