This earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 25 feet and a structural height of 20 feet, with a length of 370 feet and a storage capacity of 30 acre-feet. The dam is primarily made of stone with a soil foundation and is regulated by the Washington Department of Ecology.
Despite its low hazard potential, Blazing Tree Ranch Pond 6 Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. It currently does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and there is limited information available regarding its risk assessment and management measures. The dam overlooks Tr-Garrison Bay and has a maximum discharge capacity of 100 cubic feet per second, making it a crucial component in the local water resource infrastructure.
As an important structure for water management in the region, Blazing Tree Ranch Pond 6 Dam showcases the intersection of human ingenuity and environmental stewardship. With its focus on irrigation purposes and its state-regulated status, this dam stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to balance water resource utilization and conservation in the face of climate change challenges.
