Built in 1985 by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), this earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a length of 242 feet. With a storage capacity of 36 acre-feet, the dam is designed to regulate flow on TR- Spring Cr. and covers a surface area of 2 acres.
Managed by a private owner, Goldin Dam is regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. With a low hazard potential, the dam poses a moderate risk and has not been rated for condition assessment. The spillway type is uncontrolled, indicating that excess water would flow over the dam in case of overflow. Overall, Goldin Dam provides essential water resource management for the local area while also supporting wildlife and recreational activities.
