Indian Creek Watershed Site 39, located in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, is a key water resource managed by the local government for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. This earth dam, completed in 1975 by USDA NRCS, stands at a height of 53 feet and spans 380 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 28 acre-feet. The dam serves to reduce flood risks in the region, with a surface area of 1.5 acres and a drainage area of 0.05 square miles along the TR-Indian Creek.
Managed by the Iowa DNR, this dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the last inspection in 2003 deemed the structure to be in a satisfactory state. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies. With its strategic location in Council Bluffs and involvement in water resource management, Indian Creek Watershed Site 39 represents a vital component in the region's water infrastructure for both environmental conservation and community safety.
