Jorgensen Dam, located in Audubon, Iowa, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. Built in 1962 by the USDA NRCS, this private dam is owned and regulated by the Iowa DNR. With a height of 29 feet and a length of 538 feet, Jorgensen Dam has a storage capacity of 114 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres. The dam is primarily constructed of earth and soil foundations, with an uncontrolled spillway type.

Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, Jorgensen Dam's condition assessment is currently not rated. The dam has not been inspected recently, and there is no emergency action plan in place. However, the dam is under state jurisdiction and is regularly permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Iowa DNR. With its strategic location on TR-Buck Creek, Jorgensen Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, providing essential services to the local community while also contributing to the conservation and protection of the surrounding environment.
