With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, this dam on the TR-Little Stillwater Creek has a height of 33 feet and a length of 1100 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 278 acre-feet. The dam features a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate for water management.
Despite being classified as having low hazard potential, SCS-Stillwater Creek Site-07 is in need of updated inspections, as the last one was conducted in 1980. The risk assessment for this dam is very high, indicating the importance of regularly monitoring its condition and implementing risk management measures. With the surrounding area at risk of inundation in the event of a failure, it is crucial for the relevant state agencies, such as the OWRB, to ensure that proper maintenance and emergency preparedness protocols are in place to safeguard the community and environment.
