This earth dam, designed by USDA NRCS, stands at a height of 31 feet and has a storage capacity of 208 acre-feet. It spans 500 feet in length and serves the surrounding area by controlling the flow of Troublesome Creek, a tributary of the Mississippi River.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, this dam plays a vital role in mitigating flood risks in the region. It features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet and uncontrolled outlet gates. Although its condition assessment is not rated, the dam is managed by local government authorities and does not fall under state regulation or inspection. Despite its simple design, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam S-33a serves as a crucial infrastructure for flood management and protection of downstream communities along Troublesome Creek.
