Summary
Built by USDA NRCS, this earth-type dam has a primary purpose of debris control along Grasshopper Creek. Standing at 23 feet high with a hydraulic height of 20 feet, it spans 490 feet in length and has a maximum storage capacity of 90 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential, Youssi Gsd No 10 serves an important function in protecting the surrounding area from debris and controlling the flow of Grasshopper Creek. With a normal storage capacity of 7.62 acre-feet and a surface area of 2.02 acres, this dam is essential for maintaining water quality and ensuring the safety of downstream communities. While it has not been inspected since 2003, its overall condition is currently rated as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further assessment and potential maintenance.
As a part of the Natural Resources Conservation Service's efforts to manage water resources effectively, Youssi Gsd No 10 stands as a testament to the importance of infrastructure in mitigating potential risks and safeguarding communities from natural disasters. With a spillway width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 125 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water management in the Brown County area. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Youssi Gsd No 10 will be vital in ensuring the resilience and sustainability of local ecosystems.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
