Badger Creek Watershed Site 11-1 in Carlisle, Iowa, is a vital local government-owned structure designed by USDA NRCS for multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and flood risk reduction. This earth dam, completed in 1974, stands at a height of 29 feet, with a length of 615 feet, and has a storage capacity of 193 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Badger Creek, this dam covers a surface area of 10.2 acres, with a drainage area of 0.66 square miles.

Although this dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, it has not been inspected since May 1995, and its condition assessment is not rated. Despite being state-regulated and permitted, the dam has not undergone recent inspection or enforcement actions. With its uncontrolled spillway type and lack of outlet gates, there might be potential risks associated with this structure. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should pay attention to the maintenance and inspection of Badger Creek Watershed Site 11-1 to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the surrounding community and environment.
