Brown's Valley Dam, located in Minnesota on the Bois de Sioux/Minnesota River, is a Federal-owned structure managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Built in 1941, this Earth dam serves primarily for Flood Risk Reduction but also supports Fish and Wildlife Pond, Recreation, and Water Supply purposes. The dam has a structural height of 14 feet and a hydraulic height of 8 feet, with a length of 3700 feet and a volume of 93,000 cubic yards.

With a significant hazard potential, the dam is monitored and managed by USACE to address all types of flood risks associated with it. The agency works towards maintaining the dam's structural integrity, managing water levels, and preparing emergency action plans to respond to potential dam-related emergencies. Regular maintenance and inspections are conducted to ensure the dam's functionality and readiness. Despite its risk rating of moderate, USACE continues to prioritize risk management measures and engage with local emergency managers and the public to raise awareness and preparedness for any potential emergencies.
