This private earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and has a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 50 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Off Ch-Menard Creek and is maintained by state permitting and inspection processes.
Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, with a high hazard potential. The structure lacks a spillway and associated locks, indicating potential risks during heavy rainfall events. The last inspection took place in 1979, highlighting the need for regular evaluations and potential updates to meet modern safety standards. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and risk assessment for infrastructure in vulnerable areas.
