Built in 1976 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock management, and as a small fish pond. With a height of 24 feet and a length of 642 feet, it provides a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 66 acre-feet.
Despite its age, Aj Smith Gss has not been rated in terms of its condition assessment. However, it is classified as having a high risk potential, indicating a need for continued monitoring and potential risk management measures. While it does not have a spillway, the dam is equipped with one outlet gate. The dam does not have a designated emergency action plan (EAP) in place, highlighting the need for emergency preparedness measures.
Given its location and purpose, Aj Smith Gss is a vital structure for the local community, providing essential water resources for fire protection and livestock management. However, its high-risk classification underscores the importance of ongoing maintenance and potential safety improvements to ensure the safety of both the dam and the surrounding area in the face of changing climate conditions.
