This private earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet with a length of 228 feet, providing a storage capacity of 39 acre-feet. While the dam does not have a spillway, it features one outlet gate for water control.
With a drainage area of 0.53 square miles, Morrison Scott and Conrad Dam 3 poses a high risk due to its design and condition assessment being labeled as "Not Rated." Despite not being state-regulated or state-jurisdiction, the dam does undergo state permitting and inspection processes. The dam's location on TR-NW FORK POINT CREEK makes it a vital resource for water management in the area, especially for fire protection and livestock needs. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam presents an interesting case study in private dam management and the potential risks associated with its current condition.
