The earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet and stretches across 427 feet, creating a surface area of 3.9 acres and a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet. The dam is privately owned and regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, with inspections and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Conner Dam is considered to have a moderate risk level. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and its condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated." While it lacks certain risk management measures and updated emergency protocols, the dam continues to serve its intended purposes effectively. With a scenic location in Coppock, Iowa, and a history of providing valuable water resources for the community, Conner Dam remains an important feature for both water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate in the region.
