Homme Dam, also known as Homme Reservoir, is a concrete dam located on the South Branch of Park River in Park River, North Dakota. Built in 1950 by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam stands at a height of 50 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 7,000 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is flood risk reduction, with additional benefits including fish and wildlife habitat, recreation, and water supply.

This high-hazard potential dam is regularly inspected and monitored by the US Army Corps of Engineers to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam has a spillway width of 218 feet and is equipped with slide gates and a valve for water release. In case of emergency, an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is in place to guide response and evacuation procedures. The risk management measures implemented by the USACE include ongoing maintenance, risk assessment, and collaboration with local emergency managers to raise awareness and preparedness for potential dam-related emergencies.

Overall, Homme Dam plays a crucial role in managing flood risks in the region while also providing various environmental and recreational benefits. With a focus on safety and proactive risk management, the USACE continues to ensure the dam's functionality and readiness to respond to any potential threats.
