Completed in 2008, this earth dam structure stands at a height of 19.2 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 76.15 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 35.04 acre-feet. The pond covers a surface area of 7.67 acres and is fed by an unnamed tributary to Deadman Creek, making it a vital habitat for local wildlife.
Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the pond poses a very high risk due to its location and water volume. The controlled spillway, with a width of 1 foot, helps manage the maximum discharge of 12.5 cubic feet per second. The dam's outlet gates consist of a single valve. While the condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," the last inspection in November 2010 revealed no major concerns. Overall, Greg Oplotnik Pond # 1 serves as an important resource for the local ecosystem and demonstrates effective water management practices in the region.
