Completed in 2009, this reservoir has a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet with a normal storage of 16.7 acre-feet. With a surface area of 2.1 acres and a hydraulic height of 13 feet, Koehn Ranch Reservoir plays a vital role in supporting agricultural activities in the region.
Despite its relatively small size, Koehn Ranch Reservoir's high hazard potential and fair condition assessment make it an important water resource in the area. The dam structure, built with a core of rockfill on soil foundation, stands at a height of 13 feet and spans 850 feet in length. As a state-regulated facility under the jurisdiction of the Washington Dept of Ecology, regular inspections are conducted to ensure the safety and integrity of the reservoir.
In the event of emergencies, the reservoir's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is periodically reviewed and updated to meet safety guidelines. With its strategic location and contribution to irrigation activities in the region, Koehn Ranch Reservoir serves as a valuable asset for water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Washington.
