Located in Elbert County, Colorado, the Kiowa Creek Watershed 3-B-60 is a key water resource managed by the local government with oversight from the Department of Water Resources. The dam, constructed in 1959 by the USDA NRCS, serves primarily for flood risk reduction along the Kiowa Creek-TR. Standing at 26 feet high with a length of 602 feet, the earth dam has a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet and a surface area of 8 acres.

Despite its age, the dam is assessed to be in satisfactory condition with a low hazard potential, making it a reliable structure for flood risk mitigation in the region. The spillway, with a width of 80 feet, is uncontrolled and capable of handling a maximum discharge of 1,665 cubic feet per second. The dam's drainage area is noted as 0, indicating its localized impact on the surrounding environment.

With its moderate risk assessment and regular inspection frequency, the Kiowa Creek Watershed 3-B-60 is a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region. As climate change continues to impact precipitation patterns and water availability, the proper maintenance and monitoring of such structures will be crucial in ensuring the safety and resilience of communities in the face of changing hydrological conditions.
