Farney Creek Dam, located in Washington County, Minnesota, was completed in 1981 by the NRCS with a primary purpose that remains unspecified. The dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 170 acre-feet, providing essential water resource management for the surrounding area. The dam is classified as an Earth dam with a Buttress core type, and it is regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Despite being deemed as low hazard potential, the condition of Farney Creek Dam has not been rated, and it undergoes inspections every eight years. It is noted that the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and risk assessment details are currently unavailable. With its critical role in water resource management and flood control, Farney Creek Dam serves as a vital infrastructure for the local community and demonstrates the importance of sustainable water resource practices in the face of changing climate conditions.
