About Site 7-14

The primary purpose of Site 7-14 is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Long-scott Creeks Wd No 93 (local government).

The dam stands 28 feet tall and stretches 1,280 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 22 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 699 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 2 square miles. Completed in 2002, 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 07/24/2007. That was over 18 years ago.
