This private earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 305 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 135 acre-feet. The dam overlooks a beautiful surface area of 19 acres and serves a drainage area of 166 square miles, with water flowing into TR.TO MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
Despite its age, the dam's condition is currently rated as "Not Rated," with a high hazard potential due to its proximity to populated areas. The last inspection was conducted in 1979, and there is no established inspection frequency or emergency action plan in place. Conservation Club Lake Dam presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, as it showcases the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring of aging infrastructure to ensure safety and sustainability for the surrounding communities and ecosystems.
