The principal spillway is a 180-foot concrete ogee weir with a crest elevation of 850.0, corresponding to 6,091-acre-feet of storages. The auxiliary spillway is a 110-foot concrete ogee spillway located on the right end of the embankment with a crest elevation of 852.0, corresponding to 7,200-acre-feet of storage. The emergency spillway is an 80-foot-wide open channel located to the right of the auxiliary spillway, with a crest elevation of 854.0, and corresponding 8,300-acre-feet- of storage.
