Completed in 1923, this earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 480 acre-feet. With a surface area of 83 acres and a drainage area of 8.25 square miles, the reservoir serves as a vital resource for local agricultural activities in the region.
Managed by the Oregon Water Resources Department, Pringle Flat Reservoir has a low hazard potential and is classified as having a moderate risk level. The dam features a needle outlet gate and an uncontrolled spillway type, with a maximum discharge capacity of 700 cubic feet per second. Despite its age, the structure has not been rated for its condition, indicating the need for further assessment and maintenance to ensure its long-term reliability.
In the event of an emergency, the reservoir does not have an established Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, raising concerns about preparedness and response protocols. With regular inspections conducted every 6 years and the last inspection reported in April 2019, stakeholders must prioritize ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to safeguard the integrity of Pringle Flat Reservoir and its surrounding community.
