With a significant hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting the surrounding area from potential risks. Despite its moderate risk level, regular inspections by the Iowa DNR ensure its structural integrity and effectiveness in debris control. The dam's location in Guthrie County, Iowa, highlights its importance in maintaining water resources and climate resilience in the region. This project demonstrates the collaboration between private entities and state agencies in safeguarding water resources for the community.
