Pelican Creek in Barrett, Minnesota, is a state-regulated fish and wildlife pond completed in 1984. This Earth-type dam stands at 13 feet high, with a length of 300 feet and a storage capacity of 600 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of creating a habitat for fish and wildlife, with a normal storage level of 170 acre-feet across its 70-acre surface area. The controlled spillway design helps manage water discharge up to 3000 cubic feet per second, with a low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment as of the last inspection in 2014.
Located in Grant County, Pelican Creek is overseen by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR EWR), with a designated designer MNDNR-BOE. The dam's risk assessment is rated as very high (1), highlighting the importance of effective risk management measures. While no emergency action plan (EAP) details are provided in the data, the dam's state permitting, inspection, and enforcement indicate a commitment to maintaining safety and regulatory compliance. With its crucial role in supporting local biodiversity and water resources, Pelican Creek stands as a key feature within the Omaha District's water infrastructure portfolio.
