Located in Warren County, Iowa, Beener Dam is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1970 for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. Managed by the USDA NRCS, this structure has a height of 30 feet and a length of 410 feet, providing a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-SOUTH RIVER near RED ROCK RESERVOIR, with a drainage area of 0.28 square miles and a surface area of 4.5 acres.

Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, Beener Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, the dam has not been rated for its condition but is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway. Although there are no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status remain unknown. As a key component of the local water resource infrastructure, Beener Dam serves as a valuable asset for the community while also posing potential risks that warrant ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
