Huntersville Twp 14 dam
Huntersville Twp 14
Huntersville Twp 14 is a dam located in Wadena, Minnesota, specifically in the city of Nimrod. Built in 1968 by the NRCS, this Earth-type dam serves the primary purpose of debris control along the Crow Wing River. With a height of 8 feet and a storage capacity of 1218 acre-feet, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
The dam is state-regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, ensuring that it meets all necessary inspection, enforcement, and permitting requirements. Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, the dam undergoes regular inspections every 8 years to guarantee its safety and functionality. With a drainage area of 0.39 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 125 cubic feet per second, Huntersville Twp 14 plays a significant role in water management and flood control in the region.
In the event of an emergency, the dam's emergency action plan is being continuously updated to meet guidelines and ensure preparedness. With Pete Stauber as the representative for the area, stakeholders and enthusiasts in water resource management and climate change in Huntersville Twp 14 can rest assured that this vital infrastructure is well-maintained and serves its purpose effectively in protecting the local community and environment.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.

About Huntersville Twp 14
Where does the data for Huntersville Twp 14 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
