Trax Farms, located in Peters Township, Pennsylvania, is a privately-owned dam structure designed by the USDA NRCS for the primary purpose of irrigation. The dam, completed in 1963, stands at a height of 26 feet and stretches 340 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 41 acre-feet. Situated on TR Peters Creek in Washington County, Pennsylvania, this Earth-type dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources for agricultural operations in the area.
Despite its important role in water management, the dam at Trax Farms has been classified with a high hazard potential and a fair condition assessment. Although it is regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and undergoes regular inspections, the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures are not well-documented. With its location in a region susceptible to the impacts of climate change, such as increased precipitation and extreme weather events, ensuring the safety and resilience of Trax Farms' dam structure is essential for protecting both the local community and the surrounding environment. Enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate resilience will find Trax Farms to be a compelling case study in balancing agricultural needs with the challenges of climate variability and dam safety.
