Kent Dam, located in Lucas County, Iowa, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1981 with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. The dam stands at a height of 27 feet and spans a length of 365 feet, holding a maximum storage capacity of 123 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-ENGLISH CR. river or stream, the dam has a low hazard potential and is classified as having a moderate risk level.
Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Kent Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. It has a normal storage capacity of 30 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 5.4 acres within a drainage area of 0.51 square miles. Despite having an uncontrolled spillway type, the dam's risk is mitigated through moderate risk management measures. With its location in Flagler, Iowa, the dam serves as a crucial water resource for fire protection and agricultural purposes in the region, while also providing habitat for small fish populations.
