Built in 2011, this earth dam reaches a height of 23 feet and spans 940 feet in length, with a primary purpose designated as "Other." Serving as a vital structure on a tributary of Blue Creek, the dam provides a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 45 acre-feet.
Despite being unregulated by the state, the Jackson Water Farm Pond 2 Dam plays a crucial role in water management for the area, with a moderate risk assessment score of 3. An uncontrolled spillway, measuring 8 feet in width, ensures proper water discharge in times of excess, while an uncontrolled outlet gate assists in managing water levels. While the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the dam's construction and design reflect a commitment to safety and efficiency in water resource management.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, the Jackson Water Farm Pond 2 Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of private initiatives in safeguarding our water supply. With a focus on sustainability and responsible management, this dam stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability needed in the face of evolving environmental challenges.
