Completed in 1961, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and stretches 1220 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 794 acre-feet and a normal storage of 85 acre-feet. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
Despite its low hazard potential, this dam is deemed to have a very high risk due to its age and lack of recent inspection data. It is currently classified as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, highlighting the need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures. With its importance in flood risk reduction for the area, it is crucial for the state regulatory agency, OWRB, to ensure regular inspections and maintenance to uphold the dam's structural integrity and safety for the surrounding community.
