Completed in 1982, this Earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 16 feet and spans a length of 380 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 153 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the Middle Fork Forked Deer River, within the jurisdiction of the state, ensuring regular inspection, permitting, and enforcement to maintain its satisfactory condition.
Although categorized as a low hazard potential structure, Dyer Creek's risk assessment indicates a moderate level due to various factors. Despite this, the dam's condition remains satisfactory, with the last assessment conducted in August 2018. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, and there is no information available on its compliance with guidelines or the preparation of inundation maps. With its strategic location and critical role in managing water resources, Dyer Creek serves as a vital component of the region's infrastructure, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and risk management measures for sustainable water resource management in the area.
