Foreman Dam in Iowa, located on the Skunk River, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. Completed in 2000 by the NRCS, this earth dam stands at 22 feet high and stretches 698 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. The dam's primary source agency is in Iowa and it is regulated by the Iowa DNR, with inspection, permitting, and enforcement all conducted at the state level.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Foreman Dam is considered to be in good condition and has not been rated for its current state. Despite being uncontrolled, the dam's spillway width and discharge are both reported as zero, indicating its ability to manage water levels efficiently. The dam's location on TR- Cedar Creek in Jefferson County, Iowa, makes it a key feature in the area's water resource management and climate resilience efforts, demonstrating the importance of private ownership in maintaining critical infrastructure for both human and ecological needs.
