This private earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a length of 411 feet, with a storage capacity of 170 acre-feet. Despite its primary purpose for fire protection and stock, the dam also provides opportunities for recreational activities and water supply in the region.
The dam, situated on TR-South Mineral Creek, is owned by a private entity and is not regulated by the state. With no spillway, the dam presents a high risk level, making it crucial for regular inspections and risk management measures to ensure the safety and efficiency of the structure. While the dam's hazard potential is currently not available and its condition is unassessed, the presence of one outlet gate indicates some level of control over water release. Overall, Schultz Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and impact of private dams on local ecosystems and communities.
