Youth Center Dam #1, also known as Ind. Ffa Leadership Center Dam, is a private earth dam located in Nineveh, Indiana. Completed in 1971 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a height of 33 feet and a length of 500 feet. Situated on an unnamed tributary of Nineveh Creek, the dam has a normal storage capacity of 57 acre-feet, contributing to the overall water resource management in the area.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the condition assessment of F.F.A. Youth Center Dam #1 in 2010 rated it as fair. With a risk assessment indicating a high risk level of 2, there is a need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the dam's structural integrity and safety. The dam does not have a spillway and is not under the jurisdiction of the USACE, but it is regulated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place.
As a significant feature in the local water infrastructure, F.F.A. Youth Center Dam #1 plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities while also managing water resources effectively. With its location in Johnson County, Indiana, and close proximity to the Louisville District, the dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private owners and state agencies in ensuring the safety and functionality of water-related structures.
