Curtis Dam, located in Scott County, Iowa, was completed in 2004 by the NRCS and serves primarily for fire protection and as a small fish pond. This earth dam has a height of 28 feet and a length of 420 feet, with a storage capacity of 152 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Wapsipinicon River and is regulated by the Iowa DNR, with inspections and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and functionality.

Despite being classified with a low hazard potential, Curtis Dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, with a risk assessment rating of 3. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, and there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared at this time. It is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to stay updated on the risk management measures and any potential modifications to ensure the safety and sustainability of Curtis Dam in the future.
