Vallez Fish Pond, located in Shakopee, Minnesota, was completed in 1968 by the USDA NRCS and serves multiple purposes including fire protection and as a stock or small fish pond. The dam at Vallez Fish Pond is an earth dam with a height of 21 feet and a length of 365 feet, providing a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. The facility is situated on TR-Sand Creek and is managed by a private owner.

Despite its low hazard potential, Vallez Fish Pond has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 42 feet, providing a maximum discharge capacity of 138 cubic feet per second. While the dam is currently in good condition and not rated, it has not been inspected recently and lacks emergency action plans and inundation maps. The risk management measures for the pond are not specified, but the facility is still operational and plays a vital role in local water resource management and fish stocking efforts.
