Built in 1983, this Earth-type dam serves a variety of purposes, including flood control and water storage on the Tributary to Kickapoo Creek. With a height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 79 acre-feet, this dam has a low hazard potential and is not currently rated for its condition. Despite its age, Crain Kermit has been inspected regularly, with the last inspection conducted in September 2010.
While the dam has a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, it does not have a designated length or surface area. The risk assessment for Crain Kermit indicates a very high level of risk, potentially due to its age and lack of recent condition assessments. As a key component of water resource management in the area, it is crucial for the dam's owners and regulators to prioritize regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of this structure for both water management and climate-related purposes.
