About Dd No 104

The primary purpose of Dd No 104 is debris control. The dam is designed to catch sediment, rocks, and debris carried by flowing water — particularly important in areas prone to mudslides or heavy erosion. The dam is owned by Doyle Creek Wjd No 86 (local government). It impounds the Doyle Creek-tr.

The dam stands 23 feet tall and stretches 1,100 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 25 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 821 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles.

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 02/03/1997. That was over 29 years ago.
