Bibby Dam, located in Celico, Oregon, was completed in 1962 and serves as a vital irrigation resource in the area. The dam is privately owned and regulated by the Oregon Water Resources Department, with a primary purpose of providing water for irrigation. With a height of 35 feet and a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet, Bibby Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and ensuring a stable water supply for agricultural activities.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Bibby Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and a drainage area of 6.75 square miles, with a maximum discharge capacity of 620 cubic feet per second. The structure spans 440 feet in length and covers a surface area of 13 acres, making it a significant feature in the local water management infrastructure.
With its strategic location on Buck Hollow, a tributary to the Celico River, Bibby Dam is a key component in the water distribution network in Sherman County, Oregon. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it continues to play a crucial role in sustaining agricultural activities in the region. The dam's presence highlights the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in ensuring a sustainable water supply for future generations.
