Completed in 1964, this federal-owned structure serves as a crucial flood risk reduction measure, with a height of 121 feet and a length of 4600 feet. Managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam has a high hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating.
The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a controlled spillway and a maximum discharge capacity of 939,000 cubic feet per second. The reservoir created by the dam has a normal storage capacity of 505,381 acre-feet and a surface area of 22,420 acres. The USACE actively manages dam-related flood risks by conducting regular inspections, maintaining the structure, and engaging with local emergency managers to ensure preparedness and response in case of a dam-related emergency.
Despite the inherent risks associated with dams, the USACE remains vigilant in monitoring the condition and health of the Keystone Dam to mitigate potential hazards. Through ongoing risk management measures, including the development of emergency action plans and collaboration with local stakeholders, the USACE works to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam and surrounding communities.
