Sievers Dam, located in Monona, Iowa along the TR-Soldier River, was completed in 1965 and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock maintenance, and serving as a small fish pond. Owned by a private entity and regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, this earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet and spans 486 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet and a surface area of 3.7 acres. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's condition remains unrated and inspection details are not available.

Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Sievers Dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with no outlet gates or associated structures. The dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are also unspecified, highlighting potential areas for improvement in terms of safety standards and preparedness. With its location in a rural setting and relatively small drainage area of 0.43 square miles, continued monitoring and maintenance of Sievers Dam are essential to ensure its effectiveness in water resource management and climate resilience efforts for the surrounding community of Ute and beyond.
