About Dale Frazier Dam

The primary purpose of Dale Frazier 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 Dale Frazier (private). It impounds the Tr-grindstone Er. near Santa Rosa.

The dam stands 28 feet tall and stretches 218 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 3 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 31 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 313 square miles. Completed in 1990, the structure is 36 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 09/30/1990. That was over 35 years ago.
