Standing at a height of 10 feet and stretching 1200 feet in length, the dam provides a storage capacity of 104 acre-feet for its primary purpose. Despite being a non-regulated structure, Tiller Lake Dam has undergone state permitting and inspection processes, ensuring its safety and compliance with standards.
With a normal storage capacity of 28 acre-feet, Tiller Lake Dam serves as a vital resource for water management in the region. The dam, with its buttress core type and unlisted foundation, plays a crucial role in managing the water resources of the area. Even though it does not have a spillway, the dam features one outlet gate for water release when necessary, showcasing its functionality in maintaining water levels and mitigating potential flood risks.
Although Tiller Lake Dam has a high risk assessment rating, its condition is currently not rated, and it lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). Despite these limitations, the dam remains a key structure for water resource management in the region, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring to ensure its continued effectiveness in safeguarding the local community and environment.
