Completed in 1962, this dam stands at a height of 46 feet and has a storage capacity of 843 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and one outlet valve, the dam has a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating of 1.
Despite its age, SCS-Soldier Creek Site-003 has not been inspected since 1980, and its condition remains unrated. The dam's risk management measures, emergency action plan, and inundation maps are all either not prepared or outdated. This raises concerns about the dam's ability to handle potential emergencies effectively. It is crucial for the relevant authorities to update the dam's inspection and emergency response protocols to ensure the safety of the surrounding area in the event of a flood or other water-related disaster.
