Completed in 1966, this earth dam stands at 31 feet in height with a hydraulic height of 28 feet and a structural height of 31 feet. With a length of 860 feet and a storage capacity of 435 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing flood risks in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition since its last inspection in 1980. It features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. While it meets state regulatory standards and undergoes regular inspections, its emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and inundation maps preparedness are unclear. The dam's risk level is classified as very high, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this essential water resource infrastructure.
