About Mitch England Dam
The primary purpose of Mitch England Dam is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Mitch England (private). It impounds the Tr-squaw Creek near Tingley.
The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 385 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 3 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. Completed in 2016, the structure is relatively new.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
