About East Yellow Creek B- 32

The primary purpose of East Yellow Creek B- 32 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 East Yellow Creek Ws District (local government). It impounds the Tr-east Yellow.

The dam stands 25 feet tall and stretches 600 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 6 square miles. Completed in 2001, 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 11/01/2001. That was over 24 years ago.
