The primary purpose of Travis James is classified as "Other," with a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 2306 cubic feet per second. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk due to its condition assessment not being rated. The spillway type is controlled, and it has one valve outlet gate for water release. The dam's risk management measures and emergency response plans are not currently detailed, indicating potential areas for improvement in its operational safety protocols.
Overall, Travis James plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region, particularly along the TR-Haystack Creek. As a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam presents opportunities for further study and potential enhancements to its risk management and emergency preparedness strategies.
