With a structural height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet, this earth dam plays a crucial role in water management and flood control in the region. Despite being unregulated by the state and having a low hazard potential, the dam is subject to periodic inspections to ensure its safety and functionality.
Although the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," its risk assessment is classified as moderate, indicating potential vulnerabilities that may need to be addressed in the future. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and there are no inundation maps prepared for the area. However, with a relatively low hazard potential and a history of moderate risk management measures, Burroughsrosscolville continues to provide essential water storage and flood protection for the community. As climate change impacts water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Burroughsrosscolville will become increasingly important to ensure their resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.
