The dam, standing at a height of 18 feet and with a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet, overlooks the TR-MINE CREEK and offers a serene setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore. Despite its earth and buttress design, the dam does not have a spillway and is not regulated by the state.
With a surface area of 13 acres and a normal storage capacity of 68 acre-feet, Terra Verde Lake Dam presents a high risk potential, as indicated by its Hazard Potential rating of "Not Available" and Risk Assessment of "High (2)." The condition assessment for the dam is currently "Not Rated," and it lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) as well as updated inundation maps. Despite these challenges, the dam continues to attract visitors for recreational activities, and its impact on the surrounding environment and community remains a topic of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
As stakeholders continue to monitor and assess the safety and management of Terra Verde Lake Dam, its role in providing recreational opportunities and its potential risks highlight the importance of sustainable water resource practices and climate resilience. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can engage in discussions and initiatives to ensure the long-term viability and safety of this dam, while also promoting responsible stewardship of water resources in the region.
