About Glen Miller Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Glen Miller Lake Dam is tailings. Tailings dams contain waste material from mining operations — typically a slurry of finely ground rock left over after valuable minerals have been extracted. These structures require ongoing monitoring because tailings can contain heavy metals and other contaminants. The dam is owned by Glen Miller (private). It impounds the Unt of Everett Branch.
The dam stands 60 feet tall and stretches 500 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 8 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 550 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 0 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.
At 60 feet, this dam is taller than 95% of all dams in the United States.
