Rodgers Dam, located in Mt. Sterling, Iowa, on the TR-FOX River, was completed in 1970 and is owned and regulated by a private entity. Designed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans a length of 282 feet. With a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond, the dam provides a storage capacity of 45 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 28 acre-feet.

The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as not assessed for condition. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam has not been subject to an emergency action plan, and the last inspection date remains unknown. With a controlled spillway type and no outlet gates, Rodgers Dam serves as a vital resource for water management and conservation in the area. As a key structure in the region, its importance in maintaining water resources and mitigating climate-related risks cannot be understated.
