With a height of 30 feet and a length of 1060 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 260 acre-feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 970 cubic feet per second. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for operation.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, this dam is considered to have a very high risk level based on its condition assessment of "Not Rated." The last inspection conducted on this structure was back in 1980, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk management measures, and inundation maps readiness are all currently unknown. With its critical function in flood risk reduction, there is a pressing need for updated assessments and preparedness measures to ensure the safety and effectiveness of SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-062 for the surrounding community and water resources.
