Standing at a height of 37 feet and a length of 810 feet, this dam on TR-Wildhorse Creek has a storage capacity of 162 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 770 cubic feet per second. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential rating, the dam is equipped with a single valve outlet gate for water release.
Despite being last inspected in 1980 and not having a current condition assessment, the dam at SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-126 is considered to have a very high risk level due to its age and lack of recent evaluations. While the emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unclear, the dam's state-regulated status ensures that OWRB oversees its permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes. As a critical structure for flood protection in the area, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are crucial to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of this water resource infrastructure.
