Completed in 1998 by the US Army, this dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a length of 897 feet, providing a storage capacity of 224 acre-feet. Its primary purpose and design are to control water flow through an uncontrolled spillway, with a spillway width of 40 feet.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Dam 24 has not undergone a recent condition assessment. However, it is regularly inspected every four years, with the last inspection conducted in September 2020. The dam does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, with all aspects of ownership, funding, design, construction, regulation, inspection, and operation being handled by the US Army.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Dam 24 serves as a crucial infrastructure component in managing water flow and storage in the region. Its location in a non-regulated state highlights the federal government's role in maintaining and operating such critical structures. Despite its low hazard potential, the moderate risk assessment underscores the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the dam's safety and reliability in the face of changing climate conditions.
