About Roach 005
The primary purpose of Roach 005 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 Dwain Roach (private). It impounds the Hickory Creek near Whitesville.
The dam stands 26 feet tall and stretches 400 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 38 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 25 square miles. Completed in 1981, the structure is 45 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.
