The earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and stretches 1200 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 332 acre-feet. Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the dam has a very high risk assessment rating due to its age and lack of recent condition assessments.
The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water management. While it is regularly inspected by state regulators, the last formal assessment occurred in November 1999, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. The dam's condition is currently listed as "Not Rated," highlighting the need for a comprehensive evaluation to ensure its structural integrity and effectiveness in mitigating flood risks in the area. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find the data on SCS-Upper Red Rock Creek Site-01 to be of interest for understanding the infrastructure challenges and risk management strategies associated with aging dams in the region.
