Standing at a height of 35 feet with a length of 932 feet, this earth dam on North Plum Creek has a storage capacity of 325 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 130 acre-feet. Despite being classified as a high-risk dam with a hazard potential that is not available, the condition assessment of the dam is not rated, and it has not been inspected since October 2008.
While the dam does not have a spillway and is not regulated by the state, it is subject to state permitting and inspection processes. The dam does not meet the guidelines for an Emergency Action Plan (EAP), and there is limited information available on its risk management measures and inundation maps. Despite these shortcomings, the Weymouth Middle Lake Dam remains a crucial water resource in the area, serving the community's water supply needs. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the dam presents an interesting case study in dam management and safety considerations.
