The dam, primarily designed for water supply purposes, stands at a height of 14 feet with a length of 750 feet and a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet. The dam is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type, situated on the Salt Branch river or stream.
Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, the dam poses a high risk (2) due to its condition assessment being not rated, and limited information on emergency action plans and risk management measures. With no spillway and a hazard potential that is not available, there is a need for improved risk assessment and management for this critical water infrastructure. Climate and water resource enthusiasts should keep an eye on developments regarding the safety and maintenance of Gubel Trust Lake No 3 Dam to ensure the sustainable management of this vital water supply facility.
