Biermaier Pond, also known as Biermaier Dam, is a private water resource located in Philbrook, Minnesota. Managed by the USDA NRCS, this dam is regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and serves as a vital structure on Turtle Creek. Built in 1969, this earth dam stands at a height of 13 feet and has a length of 200 feet, providing a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet.
With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Biermaier Pond plays a crucial role in water management in Todd County. Its moderate risk level is closely monitored through regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in August 2017. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates contribute to its operational efficiency, ensuring the safety of surrounding areas during periods of high discharge.
Despite its private ownership, Biermaier Pond serves as a key infrastructure for flood control and water storage in the region. With its strategic location and design, this earth dam continues to play a significant role in maintaining water resources and climate resilience in Todd County, Minnesota.
