Kehmeier is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Cedaredge, Colorado, along the Surface Creek-TR. Built in 1949, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet with a hydraulic height of 28 feet. Its primary purpose is irrigation, serving to store up to 358 acre-feet of water for agricultural use.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is rated as fair with a risk assessment of high (2). It features slide and uncontrolled outlet gates and has a spillway width of 15 feet. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 250 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 27 acres.

Although Kehmeier currently meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements, its risk assessment suggests that there may be areas for improvement in its risk management measures. Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and maintenance of dams in Colorado may find Kehmeier's data a compelling topic for further study and analysis.
