Of Washington’s 50 high-hazard dams listed in poor condition, the most are in Yakima County with seven.
By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS, The Associated PressSPOKANE, Wash. — An small earthen dam in Stevens County that was rated the worst in the state in 2016 had a slightly improved condition when it was re-inspected in 2021, according to an analysis released this week by The Associated Press.
That 2016 inspection found overgrown vegetation on the earthen dam, holes in the downstream face; seepage on an embankment slope; inadequate spillway to handle heavy rains; and three homes in the probable flood inundation area. Not much has changed, except the dam’s rating was raised one notch after the 2021 inspection.
“It is important to note that we do not own this dam, but will be providing assistance because it is in the best interest of the community,” Ecology said.
