Stacey Dam, located in Wapello County, Iowa, is a privately owned earth dam built in 2000 for recreational purposes. Standing at a height of 26 feet with a length of 220 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 28 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 185 cubic feet per second. The dam is situated on a tributary to Coon Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Although Stacey Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently deemed to be in "Not Rated" condition, it is subject to moderate risk, as indicated by a risk assessment rating of 3. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 12 feet and is not regulated or inspected by any state agency. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan in place and lacks updated emergency contacts, it serves as a vital recreational resource for the community, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities.

In spite of its relatively low hazard potential, Stacey Dam remains a significant structure within the region, providing both recreational benefits and potential risks that necessitate ongoing monitoring and management. As a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts, this earth dam stands as a testament to the importance of balancing human use of water resources with the need for safety and sustainability in our natural environment.
