About Lochridge Farms Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Lochridge Farms Lake 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 Lochridge Farms Inc (private). It impounds the Tr-mozingo Creek near Arkoe.
The dam stands 33 feet tall and stretches 520 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 75 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 160 square miles. Completed in 1975, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 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.
At 33 feet, this dam is taller than 78% of dams nationwide.
