Located in Sioux City, Iowa, the Leekly Dam is a private earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS in 1968 for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. The dam stands at a height of 52 feet and spans 884 feet, with a storage capacity of 274 acre-feet and a surface area of 9.1 acres. It is regulated by the Iowa DNR and is part of the Broken Kettle Creek watershed.

Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, the Leekly Dam's risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk. However, the dam's condition is currently not rated, and there is no information available on the last inspection date or inspection frequency. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared, and its Emergency Contacts, Inundation Maps, and Risk Management Measures are also not updated or available. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and assess the safety and maintenance of dams like Leekly to ensure their continued functionality and safety for the surrounding community and environment.
