Designed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a primary purpose of flood risk reduction. The dam, situated on the Apache Canyon river, has a storage capacity of 21 acre-feet and serves purposes such as fire protection, stock, or small fish pond in addition to flood risk reduction.
Despite its high hazard potential and risk assessment rating of "High (2)", the condition assessment of Apache Tank Dam is currently not rated. It lacks a spillway and has no associated structures, but it does have one outlet gate. While the dam is not regulated by the state, it undergoes regular inspections and permitting. With its strategic location and important role in flood risk reduction, Apache Tank Dam remains a crucial resource for the surrounding area, serving multiple purposes beyond its primary function.
