About Rick Fields Dam
The primary purpose of Rick Fields 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 Rick Fields (private). It impounds the Unnamed Tr-little Crooked Crk near Glen Allen.
The dam stands 23 feet tall and stretches 620 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 62 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 250 square miles. Completed in 2006, the structure is relatively new.
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 08/29/2006. That was over 19 years ago.
