Battle Creek is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Camp Crook, South Dakota. Built in 1973 by designer Theodore J. Vore, the Earth dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a hydraulic height of 28 feet. The dam's primary purpose is irrigation, with a storage capacity of 978 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 667 acre-feet.
The dam is situated on Battle Creek in Crook County, Wyoming, and is regulated by the state agency SEO. With a spillway width of 370 feet and an outlet gate for controlled release, the dam has a low hazard potential and is considered to be in fair condition as of the last inspection in July 2018. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam has not undergone any modifications or emergency action plan preparation in recent years.
Although Battle Creek Dam poses a moderate risk, its low hazard potential and fair condition suggest that it continues to function effectively for irrigation purposes. The dam's location in a rural area and its controlled spillway contribute to its overall safety and reliability. With regular state inspections and enforcement measures in place, Battle Creek serves as a vital resource for water management in the region.
