Frequently Asked Questions

What is the hazard classification of Haskell?

Who owns and operates Haskell?

Haskell is owned by TOWN OF HASKELL (Local Government). The owner is responsible for maintenance, inspections, and compliance with dam safety regulations.

When was Haskell built?

Haskell was completed in 1937, making it 89 years old. Many U.S. dams were built between the 1930s and 1970s during a period of major infrastructure investment.

What is the primary purpose of Haskell?

Haskell serves the following purposes: Recreation. Many dams in the U.S. are multi-purpose, supporting flood control, water supply, recreation, and other uses.

How tall is Haskell?

Haskell has a dam height of 25 ft. Dam height is measured from the natural streambed at the downstream toe to the top of the dam, and may differ from the visible height.

When was Haskell last inspected?

Haskell was last inspected on March 2, 2004. Inspection dates indicate when a formal review occurred, not the results of that inspection.
