About James Israel

The primary purpose of James Israel 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 James Israel (private). It impounds the Tr-whitewater.

The dam stands 26 feet tall and stretches 310 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 128 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 76 square miles. Completed in 2003, 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 10/29/2003. That was over 22 years ago.
