About Hamilton&hill Farm Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Hamilton&hill Farm Lake 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 Hamilton&hill Farm (private). It impounds the Tr-west Fork Crooked River near Richmond.
The dam stands 26 feet tall and stretches 500 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 8 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 28 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 134 square miles. Completed in 1976, the structure is 50 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.
