Summary
With a dam height of 42 feet and a storage capacity of 52 acre-feet, this earth dam serves to reduce flood risks in the area while also providing essential water resources for agricultural and recreational activities. The dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a vital asset for the local community.
Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Weber Creek Subwatershed Site 2-3225 is regulated and inspected regularly to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. The dam's location on TR-Weber Creek, with a drainage area of 0.23 square miles and a surface area of 1.8 acres, highlights its significance in managing water resources in the region. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam plays a crucial role in supporting the surrounding ecosystem and maintaining water quality in the area.
With its primary purpose of fire protection and flood risk reduction, Weber Creek Subwatershed Site 2-3225 stands as a testament to effective water resource management and environmental stewardship in Iowa. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, this dam serves as a valuable infrastructure for ensuring water security and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions. The collaboration between local government agencies, the USDA NRCS, and the Iowa DNR in designing, regulating, and maintaining this dam underscores the importance of strategic partnerships in safeguarding our water resources for future generations.

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.
