About Gs Dd No 5-29
The primary purpose of Gs Dd No 5-29 is debris control. The dam is designed to catch sediment, rocks, and debris carried by flowing water — particularly important in areas prone to mudslides or heavy erosion. The dam is owned by Long-scott Creeks Wd No 93 (local government). It impounds the Long Creek-tr.
The dam stands 25 feet tall and stretches 1,800 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 17 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 732 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1993, the structure is 33 years old.
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. The most recent inspection on record was 09/29/2015. That was over 10 years ago.
