About Greg Paige Structure
The primary purpose of Greg Paige Structure 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 Greg Paige (private). It impounds the Thirdfork near Agency.
The dam stands 35 feet tall and stretches 383 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 4 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 29 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 155 square miles. Completed in 2006, 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 01/25/2007. That was over 19 years ago.
At 35 feet, this dam is taller than 82% of dams nationwide.
