Situated along TR-BROKEN KETTLE CREEK in Sioux City, this watershed site covers a surface area of 8.2 acres and serves a drainage area of 0.5 square miles.
Managed under the jurisdiction of the Iowa DNR, West Sunnyside Watershed Site C-6 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition has not been rated, and its risk assessment is considered moderate.
