This earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and stretches over 515 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 102 acre-feet. While its primary purpose is listed as "Other," it serves various functions including fire protection, stock watering, and recreation.
Despite being a non-federally regulated dam, Amis Dam is equipped with one outlet gate and has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam poses a high risk, with a hazard potential that is not currently available. While it does not have a spillway, the dam is inspected periodically by state agencies to ensure its safety and integrity. With its location on TR-Allen Branch and its important role in providing water resources for the surrounding area, Amis Dam is a notable structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and study.
