This private earth dam, with a height of 13 feet, has a storage capacity of 340 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 12 acres. Although it does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate.
Despite being classified as having a high risk level (2), the condition of Kaufman Dam No 2 has not been assessed or rated. The last inspection took place in February 1973, indicating a potential need for updated evaluations and risk management measures. While the dam is not state-regulated, it does undergo state permitting and inspection processes, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and maintaining its integrity for both recreational and safety reasons.
With its location in a picturesque setting and its primary purpose of recreation, Kaufman Dam No 2 attracts water resource and climate enthusiasts alike. However, the lack of recent assessments and the high risk level suggest a need for continued vigilance and investment in the maintenance and safety of this important water infrastructure.
