Mitch England Dam, located in Tingley, Iowa, along the TR-Squaw Creek, was completed in 2016 for the primary purpose of grade stabilization. Owned privately and regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, this earth dam stands at 27 feet high and stretches 385 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam serves as a key structure for water resource management in the area.
Designed by the USDA NRCS, Mitch England Dam not only supports grade stabilization but also serves recreational and water supply purposes. The dam's spillway, outlet gates, and uncontrolled nature contribute to its operational efficiency, with an emphasis on safety and risk management measures. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, its location in Ringgold County, Iowa, underscores its importance in maintaining water quality and quantity for the surrounding community.
As a vital infrastructure project in the Rock Island District, Mitch England Dam is a testament to collaborative efforts between private owners and regulatory agencies to ensure effective water management and environmental protection. With its strategic placement and design features, the dam plays a crucial role in enhancing water supply reliability, recreation opportunities, and overall resilience to climate change impacts in the region.
