This buttress dam, standing at a height of 36 feet and a length of 2425 feet, has a storage capacity of 1530 acre-feet and serves the community under the ownership of the local government. The dam features a stone core and utilizes rock and soil foundations to withstand the hydraulic pressures of the surrounding area.
The dam's spillway, an uncontrolled type with a width of 162 feet, allows for a maximum discharge of 5897 cubic feet per second during heavy rainfall events. Despite being classified as having a fair condition assessment as of November 2015, the dam is subject to regular inspections every five years to ensure the safety and reliability of its structure. With a moderate risk rating, the Brown-Mullin WS SCS Site 4 Dam plays a crucial role in protecting the local area from flooding and preserving the water resources in the region.
