Located in Union, Oregon, Fleets Loop is a privately owned irrigation dam on the Grande Ronde River that was completed in 1967. With a height of 18 feet and a storage capacity of 246 acre-feet, this earth dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation in the region. The dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment.
Although Fleets Loop is regulated by the Oregon Water Resources Department and undergoes regular inspections, its emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently unknown. The dam features slide gates for outlet control and has a maximum discharge capacity of 40 cubic feet per second. Despite its small drainage area of 0.6 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water for agricultural activities in the area.
Fleets Loop is a key infrastructure for water resource management in the region, ensuring a stable water supply for irrigation purposes. While the dam has a low hazard potential, its maintenance and emergency preparedness remain important factors for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of its operations. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the role of structures like Fleets Loop in sustainable water management will become increasingly significant for the community and the environment.
