Troublesome Cr Watershed Site 46 is a crucial water resource located in Audubon, Iowa, specifically in the city of Atlantic. This site, managed by the USDA NRCS, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and flood risk reduction. The earth dam, completed in 1985, stands at a height of 27 feet and has a storage capacity of 141 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 45 acre-feet. The dam covers a surface area of 7.3 acres and drains a 0.28 square mile watershed area.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Troublesome Cr Watershed Site 46 faces a moderate risk level. The dam has not been rated for its condition, and there is limited information available regarding emergency preparedness measures such as the existence of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). The site is regulated by the Iowa DNR, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. With its strategic location along the TR- Troublesome Creek, this site plays a critical role in water management and protection efforts in the region, making it an important focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
