Constructed in 1963 by CH2M HILL, this dam stands at a height of 65 feet and has a storage capacity of 603 acre-feet. The reservoir covers a surface area of 22.8 acres and is primarily used for water supply purposes to meet the needs of the local community.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Oregon Water Resources Department, Goodrich Reservoir plays a crucial role in the region's water resource management. The dam is situated on Goodrich Creek and has a significant hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite its importance, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality.
With its uncontrolled spillway and proximity to Wingville, Goodrich Reservoir serves as a vital water source for the area while also posing certain risks that require careful management. The reservoir's history, design, and purpose underscore the intersection of water resource management, climate resilience, and public safety in the region.
