Summary
This earth dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection and creating a small fish pond. With a height of 40 feet and a length of 530 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 13 acres. It is situated on TR-Camp Creek and is regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
The dam, designed by the USDA NRCS, has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. While it has not been inspected since November 1960, the state agency confirms that it is regularly permitted, inspected, and enforced. Stoner Dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is primarily constructed using soil as its foundation. Despite its age, the dam's condition is currently not rated, and it does not have an Emergency Action Plan in place.
Overall, Stoner Dam is a notable structure in the area, providing essential water resource management functions and contributing to the local ecosystem. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will appreciate its unique design and the role it plays in maintaining water levels for fire protection and recreational activities.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
