This private Earth dam, with a height of 21 feet and a length of 600 feet, holds a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. Despite being primarily used for recreation, the dam does not have a spillway and is not regulated by the state.
The dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," with a high hazard potential. The last inspection was conducted in August 1995, indicating a potential need for updated risk management measures and emergency action plans. With the dam being unregulated and lacking certain safety features like a spillway, there may be a need for increased monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the integrity of the structure. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this presents an opportunity to advocate for improved safety standards and potential upgrades to enhance the dam's resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.
