Summary
This earthen dam, completed in 1955, stands at a height of 25 feet and spans 200 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 29 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, this structure is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
Managed by the USDA NRCS, this site on Weber Creek plays a crucial role in flood risk reduction and water resource management in the region. With a drainage area of 0.26 square miles and a surface area of 1.2 acres, this dam ensures the protection of surrounding areas from potential inundation. While its condition is currently not rated, the structure meets regulatory guidelines and is equipped to handle emergency situations. This site serves as a key component in maintaining the ecological balance and water security in the area.
As a part of the Omaha District, the Weber Creek Subwatershed Site M-13941 exemplifies the collaborative effort between federal, state, and local agencies in safeguarding water resources and addressing climate challenges. With a focus on sustainable water management practices and risk mitigation measures, this site stands as a model for effective dam infrastructure in ensuring community safety and environmental resilience.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
