Rock Lake Dam, located in Lincoln, Washington, is a privately owned structure primarily used for irrigation purposes. Completed in 1985, this earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and stretches 200 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Lake Creek, serving as a vital offstream water resource for the surrounding area.
Managed by the Washington Department of Ecology, Rock Lake Dam is regulated and inspected by the state to ensure its safe operation and compliance with environmental standards. With a low hazard potential and an undetermined condition rating, the dam has not been formally assessed for its structural integrity. Despite this, the dam continues to support agricultural activities in the region, making it a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in the area.
Although lacking detailed information on emergency preparedness and risk assessment, Rock Lake Dam remains a key component of the local water infrastructure. With its modest size and purposeful design, this dam contributes to the sustainable irrigation practices in the region, showcasing the importance of efficient water management in the face of evolving climate challenges.
