Located in Ringgold County, Iowa, the East Fork Grand River Watershed Site B-68 is a local government-owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction. Completed in 2004, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a length of 545 feet, with a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 0.31 square miles, the dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR- East Fork Grand River.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the condition of the structure is currently not rated, and there is no information on its last inspection date or emergency action plan preparedness. Managed by the Iowa DNR, the East Fork Grand River Watershed Site B-68 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safe and effective operation. With its location in the heart of the Midwest, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding communities from potential flooding events and demonstrates the ongoing commitment to water resource management in the region.
