Built in 1964 for flood risk reduction, this earth dam stands at 24 feet high and spans 950 feet in length along the TR-Guy Sandy Creek. With a storage capacity of 201 acre-feet, it serves as a crucial structure in mitigating potential flood hazards in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential, the SCS-Rock Creek Site-01 has a very high risk assessment due to its age and lack of recent inspections. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Although it has not been rated for its condition, the dam is still operational and continues to fulfill its primary purpose of flood risk reduction. However, with the last inspection dating back to 1980, there is a growing need for regular assessments and potential maintenance to ensure the safety and efficiency of this vital water resource infrastructure.
