Luers Dam, located in Coppock, Iowa, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1996 for fire protection, stock, or small fish pond purposes. Managed by the USDA NRCS, this dam on TR- Dutch Creek has a height of 28 feet and a length of 385 feet, with a storage capacity of 30 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam is not currently rated for its condition and lacks emergency action plans and inundation maps.

With its uncontrolled spillway and soil foundation, Luers Dam serves as a crucial water resource for the local area, offering protection against fires and supporting agricultural activities. The dam is regulated by the Iowa DNR, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safe operation. While the risk assessment for the dam is moderate, there is room for improvement in terms of emergency preparedness and condition assessment to enhance its overall safety and resilience in the face of climate change impacts.
