Built in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Cub Creek stream. With a hydraulic height of 10.5 feet and a structural height of 22.5 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 1047 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 44 acres.
Although the hazard potential of Cub Creek #1 is rated as low, it is crucial to note that the condition assessment is not rated, and the dam has not been inspected in recent years. Despite its moderate risk level, there is currently no emergency action plan in place, and the risk management measures remain unspecified. With its uncontrolled spillway type and lack of outlet gates, there are opportunities for further assessment and potential improvements to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this water resource structure. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Cub Creek #1 to be an intriguing case study for understanding the complexities of dam management and maintenance in the face of changing environmental conditions.
