The dam is situated on TR-Red Rock Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the OWRB, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
Despite being classified with a low hazard potential, the dam at SCS-Upper Red Rock Creek Site-25 poses a very high risk due to its condition not being rated. With a maximum discharge of 2800 cubic feet per second and a controlled spillway, the dam is equipped with a single valve outlet gate for water flow management. The last inspection of the dam took place in November 2005, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find this site to be of interest for its role in flood risk reduction and the potential risks associated with its current condition.
