The reservoir covers a surface area of 2.4 acres and is situated on an unnamed tributary to Coyote Creek. With a structural height of 20 feet and a hydraulic height of 14 feet, Schwartz Reservoir plays a significant role in water management in the region.
Managed by the Oregon Water Resources Department, Schwartz Reservoir is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam features a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate for water release and has a hazard potential classified as 'Significant'. The last inspection was conducted in August 2018 with a frequency of every 3 years. While the condition assessment is marked as 'Not Rated', the dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are currently listed as unavailable, indicating a potential area for improvement in emergency preparedness and risk mitigation strategies.
Located in a remote area with no downstream settlements, Schwartz Reservoir stands as a vital infrastructure for agricultural irrigation in the region. With its historical significance dating back to the mid-20th century, the dam continues to play a crucial role in water resource management and serves as a testament to the importance of sustainable water practices in the face of changing climate conditions.
