Built in 1988, this earthen dam stands at a hydraulic height of 12 feet, with a length of 500 feet and a storage capacity of 12 acre-feet. The lagoon covers a surface area of 1.1 acres and drains an area of 0.03 square miles, with a maximum discharge capacity of 20 cubic feet per second.
Despite its satisfactory condition assessment, the lagoon poses a high hazard potential and undergoes inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity. Located along the Tr-Little Spokane River, the dam is regulated by the state and subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. This crucial infrastructure plays a key role in managing sewage in the region and highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring water resources to protect both public health and the environment.
