With a height of 16 feet and a storage capacity of 385 acre-feet, this earth dam on Linston Creek plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the region. Despite its modest size, the dam poses a high risk (2) according to risk assessments, although specific hazard potential and condition assessments are not available.
Owned privately, Castleberry Dam is not regulated by the state and does not have a designated state agency overseeing its enforcement or regulatory functions. The dam lacks a spillway and other associated structures, making its operation relatively straightforward. Although there are no inspection records or emergency action plans readily available, the dam continues to fulfill its intended purpose of providing water for irrigation and recreation activities. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Castleberry Dam represents a unique example of a small-scale earth dam supporting vital water management functions in a rural setting.
