Pfab Dam, located in Jackson County, Iowa, was completed in 1979 by the USDA NRCS and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. This earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and spans a length of 340 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 74 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-Farm Creek, a tributary that covers a drainage area of 0.28 square miles.

Managed by a private entity, Pfab Dam is regulated by the Iowa DNR and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Despite being classified as having low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level. While the spillway is uncontrolled, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently unspecified. With its location in a rural area, the dam provides essential water resource management for the surrounding community and contributes to local ecosystem health and biodiversity.
