About Mozingo Creek Watershed Site 17
The primary purpose of Mozingo Creek Watershed Site 17 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 Mozingo Creek Subdistrict (local government). It impounds the Mozingo Creek near Arkoe.
The dam stands 28 feet tall and stretches 650 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 18 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 153 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1,250 square miles. Completed in 1994, the structure is 32 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.
