Hound Dog Watershed Site F-16, located in Fremont, Iowa, is a dam constructed in 1962 by the USDA NRCS for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. The dam is primarily earth-filled, standing at a height of 36 feet and spanning a length of 601 feet. With a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet, it serves as a flood risk reduction measure for the area.

Managed by the Iowa DNR, this dam on the TR-Nishnabotna River has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Despite being inspected in 1963, the dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status, risk assessment, and risk management measures are unspecified. With the dam's location in a designated flood risk area and its moderate risk level, it is crucial for stakeholders and local government to ensure its ongoing maintenance and preparedness for potential emergencies.

In collaboration with federal agencies such as the Natural Resources Conservation Service and state-level regulators, the Hound Dog Watershed Site F-16 serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region. As climate change continues to impact water availability and flood risks, the maintenance and monitoring of this dam play a significant role in protecting the surrounding community and ecosystem from potential water-related disasters.
