Coyote Lake Dam, located in Adams, Washington, was completed in 1976 by the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife and is currently owned and operated by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The primary purpose of the dam is to create a Fish and Wildlife Pond for conservation efforts. This earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a length of 160 feet, with a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet and a surface area of 21 acres.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Coyote Lake Dam's condition assessment in 2012 reported poor conditions. The dam has a moderate risk assessment level, indicating potential issues that may need attention. The last inspection date was in 2012, with a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years. The spillway of the dam is uncontrolled, with a width of 65 feet and a maximum discharge of 163 cubic feet per second.
As a vital structure for managing water resources in the area, Coyote Lake Dam plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the region and providing habitat for various wildlife species. With its historical significance and ongoing conservation efforts, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.
