This earth dam stands at 18 feet high with a length of 1310 feet, providing a storage capacity of 225 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1575 cubic feet per second. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
Despite its low hazard potential, SCS-Little Deep Fork Creek Site-26 is classified as having a very high risk level due to lacking updated emergency action plans and inundation maps. The condition assessment remains unrated, with the last inspection dating back to 1980. While the dam serves its primary purpose effectively, there is room for improvement in terms of emergency preparedness and risk mitigation measures. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find this site intriguing for its historical significance and potential for enhancing safety and efficiency in flood control management.
