The dam, with a height of 18 feet and a length of 600 feet, holds a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet of water from the Wild Horse Creek. Despite its age, the dam's condition is currently not rated, and it has a high risk assessment due to its hazard potential.
This private-owned earth dam, built with buttress core types, does not have a spillway or locks. Its operation is not regulated by the state, and it is not under the jurisdiction of any state regulatory agency. The dam has not been inspected recently, and its emergency action plan status is unknown. Despite these challenges, Clonts Lake Dam remains a critical infrastructure for irrigation in the region and a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its historical significance and impact on the local ecosystem.
