The dam stands at a hydraulic height of 22 feet, with a hazard potential classified as high, but with a satisfactory condition assessment as of the last inspection in October 2018.
Managed by the Washington Department of Ecology, the Wood Reservoir Dam No 1 is state-regulated, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement all conducted by state agencies. The dam is situated on Tr-Stemilt Creek-Offstream and falls under the jurisdiction of Congressional District 08, represented by Kim Schrier (D). The reservoir covers an area of 8.3 acres and has a drainage area of 0.02 square miles, with a maximum discharge capacity of 4.7 cubic feet per second.
Despite its age, Wood Reservoir Dam No 1 continues to provide valuable recreational opportunities and essential water resources for the local community. Its satisfactory condition and regular state oversight ensure its continued safe operation for both irrigation and recreation purposes in the Chelan County area of Washington.
