The dam, standing at a height of 20 feet and a length of 448 feet, serves as a crucial structure along the TR-Piney Creek. Despite its significant storage capacity of 156 acre-feet, the dam does not have a spillway, raising concerns about its ability to manage high discharge events effectively.
With a high hazard potential and a lack of recent inspections or condition assessments, Redfearn Gss poses a potential risk to the surrounding area in the event of a failure. The dam's regulatory oversight is minimal, with no state enforcement or jurisdiction indicated, leaving its maintenance and safety up to the private owner. Considering its location in a region prone to climate variability and extreme weather events, the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the dam's structural integrity and functionality is paramount for water resource and climate enthusiasts monitoring its impact on the local ecosystem.
