With a height of 60 feet and a storage capacity of 3225 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. The controlled spillway and valve outlet gate ensure efficient water management, with a maximum discharge capacity of 250 cubic feet per second.
Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is rated as fair. Regular inspections, last conducted in December 2011, are essential to monitor any changes in the dam's structural integrity and ensure its continued functionality. The risk assessment for SCS-Sugar Creek Site-043 is very high, emphasizing the importance of maintaining and managing this critical water resource infrastructure to safeguard the community and the environment from the impacts of extreme weather events and climate change.
