This 41-foot high dam on the TR-Little Sioux River has a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 3 acres. While the dam has a low hazard potential, it is regulated by the Iowa DNR and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure safety and compliance.
With a drainage area of 0.14 square miles, Sioux Rapids Golf Club Dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and no outlet gates. The dam's condition is currently not rated, but it poses a moderate risk level. Despite this, the dam has not been modified over the years and does not have an emergency action plan in place. The dam's risk management measures and inundation maps are also not prepared, indicating areas for improvement in emergency preparedness for this water resource structure.
