Rolling Hills Dam, located in Tiffin, Iowa, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 2002 for the primary purpose of recreation. The dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 440 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Clear Creek, the dam serves as a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking.
Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Rolling Hills Dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite being rated as having a significant hazard potential, the dam is currently in a not rated condition assessment. While it meets moderate risk assessment guidelines, there are no emergency action plans prepared or updated for the dam. With its scenic location and recreational opportunities, Rolling Hills Dam is a valuable resource for the community and a focal point for water conservation and climate awareness efforts in the area.
With its uncontrolled spillway, the dam poses both recreational and safety benefits and challenges. The surrounding area offers a surface area of 3.8 acres and serves as a habitat for various wildlife species. While the dam has not undergone recent modifications or inspection updates, its risk management measures and potential for inundation remain important factors to consider for water resource and climate enthusiasts frequenting the site.
