Suttle is a federal-owned dam located in Jefferson County, Oregon, specifically in the city of Camp Sherman. Built in 1961, this concrete dam serves primarily as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, providing vital habitat for various species in the area. With a height of 6 feet and a storage capacity of 17,700 acre-feet, Suttle is a significant structure within the local ecosystem.
Managed by the USDA Forest Service, Suttle is classified as having a significant hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation. The last inspection of Suttle was conducted in July 2017, with the dam being categorized as uncontrolled in terms of spillway type and outlet gates.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Suttle represents an important component of the region's hydrological infrastructure. As efforts to assess and manage the risks associated with aging dams like Suttle continue, monitoring and maintenance of this structure will be crucial in ensuring its long-term sustainability and safety for both the surrounding environment and nearby communities.
