Located in the stunning Honey Creek Watershed in Rathbun Reservoir, Iowa, Site A-2 is a vital water resource managed by the local government and regulated by the Iowa DNR. This earth dam, designed by USDA NRCS, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and flood risk reduction. Completed in 1956, the dam has a height of 22 feet and a storage capacity of 93 acre-feet, with a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment.
With a drainage area of 0.28 square miles and a surface area of 2.6 acres, Site A-2 plays a crucial role in water management in the area. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and soil foundation highlight its reliance on natural elements for operation. While the condition assessment is not rated and the emergency action plan status is unclear, the site's risk management measures are yet to be detailed. Overall, Honey Creek Watershed Site A-2 stands as a fascinating example of sustainable water resource management in the midst of Iowa's natural beauty.
