Designed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 1147 feet across TR-Elm Creek. With a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond, the dam also serves for recreational activities. The dam has a storage capacity of 171 acre-feet and is inspected by the state regularly for safety and maintenance.
Despite its age, Turner Dam is still rated as not hazardous and has not been assessed for its condition. The dam does not have a spillway and features one outlet gate. While the risk assessment indicates a high risk level, management measures and emergency preparedness plans are not available for the dam. With its location in a high-risk area, it is crucial for stakeholders to ensure proper monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks and protect the surrounding communities and environment.
