Built in 1951, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and serves primarily for irrigation purposes on Kluchman Creek. With a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 13.2 acres and drains a 3.9 square mile watershed.
Managed by the Oregon Water Resources Department, Kluchman Creek Dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Equipped with needle outlet gates, the dam's last inspection was conducted in April 2017 with a frequency of every 6 years. Despite its age, the dam remains in good standing, meeting state regulatory standards for inspection, enforcement, and permitting.
The dam's location in Prineville, Oregon, highlights its significance in the region's water resource management. As a vital infrastructure for agricultural irrigation, Kluchman Creek Dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water usage and the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its long-term functionality in the face of changing climate conditions.
