Completed in 1960, this dam stands at a height of 45 feet with a hydraulic height of 39 feet, providing a storage capacity of 230 acre-feet. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a hazard potential rated as low and a very high risk assessment score of 1.
Despite its age, the condition of SCS-Lost Duck Creek Site-D4 has not been rated, and the last inspection took place in 1980. With a designated inspection frequency of 5 years, it is crucial for the dam's safety and effectiveness to undergo regular assessments and maintenance. While the dam currently meets state permitting and enforcement guidelines, there is potential for improvement in risk management measures and emergency action plan preparedness to ensure the safety and integrity of this vital flood control infrastructure in the face of changing climate and water resource challenges.
