About George Craig
The primary purpose of George Craig 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 George Craig (private). It impounds the Tr-west Fork Big near Brooklyn.
The dam stands 30 feet tall and stretches 265 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 32 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 19 square miles. Completed in 1997, the structure is 29 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. The most recent inspection on record was 07/10/1998. That was over 28 years ago.
