About Scholl

The primary purpose of Scholl is irrigation. The dam stores and diverts water for agricultural irrigation, supporting farming operations in the surrounding area. The dam is owned by Scholl Enterprises, Llc (private). It impounds the Corral Creek near Kremmling.

The dam stands 59 feet tall and stretches 180 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 19 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 420 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 12 square miles. Completed in 1964, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.

This dam has a significant hazard potential classification, meaning that a failure could cause significant economic damage — flooding roads, bridges, or property downstream — but is not expected to result in loss of life. Its condition is rated unsatisfactory, indicating serious safety deficiencies exist that require immediate attention or remedial action. An emergency action plan is in place for this dam. The most recent inspection on record was 10/11/2021.
