About No Name

The primary purpose of No Name is debris control. The dam is designed to catch sediment, rocks, and debris carried by flowing water — particularly important in areas prone to mudslides or heavy erosion. The dam is owned by Burl Surber (private).

The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 168 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 4 acres, has a storage capacity of 45 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1978, the structure is 48 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.
