Completed in 1995, this earth dam with a buttress core reaches a height of 22 feet, providing a storage capacity of 206 acre-feet. Despite its modest size, the dam plays a crucial role in controlling the flow of TR-WHITE CREEK and securing a normal storage capacity of 82 acre-feet.
While lacking a spillway, Loughnane Stavinoha Dam maintains a high risk assessment due to its hazard potential and the absence of a condition assessment. However, its strategic location and design highlight its impact on water resource management in the region. With state permitting and inspection processes in place, the dam continues to serve its primary purpose efficiently, showcasing the dedication of its designers and owners to safeguarding the environment and surrounding communities. As climate change intensifies, the significance of such structures in sustaining water availability and mitigating risks becomes increasingly apparent, making Loughnane Stavinoha Dam a crucial asset in the fight against water scarcity and climate challenges.
