Rice is a gravity dam located on the Tomahawk River in Lincoln, Wisconsin, completed in 1912 for hydroelectric purposes. Owned by a public utility, the dam stands at 19 feet high and has a length of 1497 feet, with a storage capacity of 44123 acre-feet. It serves multiple purposes, including flood risk reduction, hydroelectric power generation, and recreational activities for the surrounding area.
Managed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Rice has a controlled spillway with a width of 60 feet and is associated with one other structure. Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, its risk assessment is rated very high. The dam has not undergone a recent condition assessment, and its emergency action plan status is not available. Its location in a scenic area on the Tomahawk River makes it a valuable asset that requires careful monitoring and management to ensure the safety of downstream communities and the efficient operation of the dam for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
