This Earth-type dam was completed in 1985 with a primary purpose of serving as a Fish and Wildlife Pond managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The dam stands at a height of 15 feet, with a hydraulic height and structural height of 12 feet, and a length of 265 feet, holding a storage capacity of 501 acre-feet.
With a drainage area of 10.4 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in regulating water flow into the tributary to Platte Creek. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is reported as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and improvements. The last inspection in August 2020 highlighted this concern, emphasizing the importance of regular monitoring and upkeep to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this vital water resource infrastructure for the region's aquatic ecosystems and wildlife habitats.
