Built in 1987 by the USDA NRCS, this private-owned Earth dam serves a vital purpose in regulating water flow along the TR-LITTLE CREEK. With a structural height of 18 feet and a length of 729 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 208 acre-feet, providing essential water supply for the surrounding area.
Despite its critical role in water management, Pecos Crow Ranch Dam does not have a spillway and is classified as having a high hazard potential. However, the dam is currently not rated for its condition, highlighting the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its long-term stability. With no emergency action plan in place, there is room for improvement in terms of risk management and preparedness for potential emergencies.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, the Pecos Crow Ranch Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of resilient infrastructure in the face of environmental challenges. With the support of the local community and relevant regulatory agencies, this dam can continue to play a crucial role in water conservation and management in the region.
