With a height of 12 feet and a length of 1000 feet, the dam serves the primary purpose of water storage with a capacity of 144 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Rosita Creek and is classified as a high-risk structure, indicating the potential for significant consequences in the event of failure.
Despite being privately owned, the dam falls under state jurisdiction with permitting and inspection requirements in place. However, the dam's hazard potential is labeled as not available, and its condition is currently not rated. The lack of a spillway and the absence of information on emergency action plans raise concerns about the dam's ability to manage high discharge events and respond effectively to emergencies. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor the maintenance and safety measures of dams like Manges Lake No 2 to ensure the protection of surrounding communities and the environment.
