Heritage Hills Dam, located in Louisa County, Iowa, was completed in 1995 and is owned by a private entity. The dam is primarily used for fire protection, stock, or as a small fish pond, with a storage capacity of 38 acre-feet and a surface area of 3.1 acres. It is regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and is inspected and enforced by state authorities. The dam is classified as an earth dam with a height of 26 feet and a length of 333 feet, serving as a barrier on TR- Honey Creek.
Despite being rated as having low hazard potential, Heritage Hills Dam is considered to have a moderate risk level. It does not have an emergency action plan (EAP) or updated inundation maps prepared. The dam is under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers and is designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. With its strategic location and purpose, Heritage Hills Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
