This private dam serves a variety of purposes, including flood control, water supply, and recreation, holding a maximum storage capacity of 83 acre-feet. The dam's structure, standing at 28 feet high and 500 feet long, rests on an unnamed tributary of Hamm Creek, with a drainage area of 0.06 square miles.
Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, Retreat Boulevard Dam has not been rated for its condition and lacks an emergency action plan. However, the dam has a spillway width of 8 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 37 cubic feet per second, which may help mitigate potential hazards. The dam's inspection frequency is set at 5 years, with one uncontrolled outlet gate for water release. With its strategic location and design, Retreat Boulevard Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and climate challenges in the region.
