Bear Creek Watershed Site 25 is a crucial water resource located in Winneshiek County, Iowa, managed by the local government with assistance from the USDA NRCS. This site plays a significant role in flood risk reduction for the area, with a primary purpose of ensuring the safety of the surrounding communities. The earth dam, completed in 2000, stands at a height of 35 feet and has a storage capacity of 83 acre-feet, serving an important role in protecting the region from potential water-related disasters.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Bear Creek Watershed Site 25 is a key component in the water management infrastructure of the region. The dam's condition is currently not rated, indicating a need for further assessment and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction. Despite its critical importance, the site has not been inspected or assessed for emergency preparedness, highlighting a potential area for improvement in the future to enhance the resilience of the watershed to climate-related challenges.
