Constructed in 1960, this dam stands at a hydraulic height of 15.8 feet and a structural height of 17.7 feet, with a length of 270 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 47 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 67 acre-feet, this dam covers a surface area of 6.4 acres and drains a watershed area of 0.45 square miles.
Despite being privately owned, Roy White has a high hazard potential and is classified as a moderate risk (3) structure. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its last inspection took place in July 2018 with an inspection frequency of 5 years. This uncontrolled spillway dam does not have outlet gates and is not regulated by the state, with no enforcement, permitting, or inspection activities conducted by the state regulatory agency.
Given its location and potential risk, Roy White serves as a significant structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and assess. With its historical significance and environmental impact on the surrounding area, this dam provides a unique opportunity for further research and analysis in understanding the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
