Designed by USDA NRCS, this dam serves primarily for flood risk reduction but also supports fire protection, stock, or small fish pond purposes. The dam is an earth type with a structural height of 33 feet and a length of 1900 feet, providing a storage capacity of 2112 acre-feet for the Nine Mile Creek watershed.
Despite being in a high-risk category with a hazard potential not available, the dam's condition assessment is not rated, suggesting the need for further evaluation. The last inspection took place in 2010, and the dam lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps. With no spillway and limited discharge capacity, Pine Creek WS Site 13 Dam presents challenges for effective risk management and emergency preparedness. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, there is a call for attention to ensure the safety and resilience of this crucial infrastructure in the face of potential hazards.
