This earth-type dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 320 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-Troublesome Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam R-39 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam does not have any associated structures or outlet gates, and its spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 30 feet. While the dam has not been inspected recently, it is owned and operated by the local government, with no state regulatory oversight in place. As an essential component of flood risk management in the area, the dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding community from potential inundation events.
