This private earth dam, completed in 1962, stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 920 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet. Despite lacking a spillway, the dam remains structurally sound and has not been rated for condition assessment.
Managed by private owners, this dam holds a high risk potential and is not regulated by the state. While it is subject to state inspection and permitting, there is no enforcement agency overseeing its operations. With its location and purpose, Flying F Ranch Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the intersection of private ownership, water management, and environmental risk assessment.
