Eason Dam, located in Greene County, Iowa, was completed in 1970 and is primarily used for fire protection, stock, and as a small fish pond. Owned and regulated by a private entity, the dam is designed by the USDA NRCS and is under the jurisdiction of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. With a height of 37 feet and a length of 256 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 46 acre-feet and serves the North Raccoon River.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk level, Eason Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type with no outlet gates or locks. With a drainage area of 0.3 square miles and a surface area of 3 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. Although it has not been recently inspected or assessed for its emergency action plan, Eason Dam remains an important structure for the surrounding community.

As a vital component of the local water infrastructure, Eason Dam contributes to the overall water management and conservation efforts in the region. Its modest size and purpose make it a key asset for fire protection and agricultural needs. With a focus on safety and risk management, ongoing assessments and inspections will be important to ensure the continued reliability and effectiveness of Eason Dam for years to come.
