Fatchett Wetland Dam, located in Clinton, Iowa, serves as a vital habitat for fish and wildlife in the area. Built in 1998 by the NRCS, this private-owned Earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet and spans a length of 4900 feet. With a storage capacity of 174 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 15.1 acres and drains a 0.63 square mile area, primarily for the purpose of maintaining a fish and wildlife pond.

Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regulated by the Iowa DNR and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity. With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, the dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and a spillway width of 3 feet. The surrounding area is at a low risk of inundation, and although the dam's condition is currently not rated, it meets guidelines for emergency action plans.
