Stennett-Red Oak Watershed Site 8, located in Montgomery County, Iowa, is a local government-owned dam with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond, as well as flood risk reduction. Constructed in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and stretches 598 feet in length. The dam has a storage capacity of 113 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres, serving a drainage area of 0.89 square miles.

Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, this dam on the TR-East Nishnabotna River is classified as low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating. While the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the dam is regularly inspected, permitted, and enforced by state regulatory agencies. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type and lack of outlet gates, Stennett-Red Oak Watershed Site 8 remains a critical infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience in the region, supported by federal funding and design assistance from the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
