Bert Dam, located in Davis County, Iowa, is a private earth dam constructed in 1976 by the USDA NRCS for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. With a height of 25 feet and a length of 400 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 115 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 5.5 acres. Situated on TR-South Chequest Creek, the dam is regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and is classified as having a low hazard potential.

Despite being uncontrolled, Bert Dam poses a moderate risk due to its location and potential impact on downstream areas. While its condition is currently not rated, the dam is subject to state inspection, enforcement, and permitting. The surrounding area is at risk of inundation, and emergency action plans may need to be developed to mitigate potential risks. Overall, Bert Dam serves as a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure, providing essential services for fire protection and agricultural purposes.
