Summary
This earth-type dam, completed in 1955, stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 260 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Muddy Buggy Creek, Wilson Gw plays a significant role in regulating water flow and ensuring water security for the surrounding area.
The dam boasts a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. While the dam's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," it is subject to regular inspections by the OWRB to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Despite its age, Wilson Gw continues to be a vital infrastructure for water management in the region, with a normal storage capacity of 108 acre-feet and a surface area of 7.8 acres.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the importance of structures like Wilson Gw in ensuring water security and flood control cannot be overstated. With its strategic location on the TR-Muddy Buggy Creek and its role in managing water flow, this dam remains a key asset in safeguarding the community against potential water-related risks. As such, ongoing monitoring and maintenance of Wilson Gw are essential to preserving its functionality and resilience in the face of evolving climate challenges.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
