The dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock, and as a small fish pond. With a dam height of 31 feet and a length of 474 feet, it holds a storage capacity of 129 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9.8 acres. The dam is situated on the TR- Middle Walnut Creek, and it is regulated by the Iowa DNR, with inspections and enforcement conducted by state authorities.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Mc Creedy Dam is not currently rated for its condition. It does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared or updated, and there are no inundation maps available. The spillway type is listed as uncontrolled, with a width of 1 foot. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the condition and management of Mc Creedy Dam to ensure its continued safety and functionality for the surrounding community and ecosystem.
