Located in Goodhue, Minnesota, Belle Creek S-2 is a concrete dam built in 1980 by NRCS for flood risk reduction along the Belle Creek-TR river system. Standing at 18 feet high and spanning 530 feet in length, the dam has a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 47 square miles. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3 due to its critical role in managing water flow during periods of high discharge.

Managed by local government authorities and regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Belle Creek S-2 is equipped with state-mandated inspection, enforcement, and permitting protocols to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. While it has not been rated for its condition assessment, the dam remains a vital infrastructure for flood control in the region. With Angie Craig as the representative of the area, Belle Creek S-2 plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding communities from potential water-related disasters and underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of climate variability.
