Lorenzen Dam, located in Clinton, Iowa, was completed in 1998 by the USDA NRCS and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond management. The earth dam stands at 33 feet tall and spans 295 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 31 acre-feet and a surface area of 2.7 acres. The dam is regulated by the Iowa DNR and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Lorenzen Dam is considered to have a moderate risk level. The dam has not been rated for its current condition, but is subject to regular state inspections, enforcement, and permitting to ensure its safety and compliance. The dam's design and construction were funded by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, with ongoing state oversight to manage any potential risks associated with the structure.
Lorenzen Dam's location on TR- Brophy Creek in the city of MC CAUSLAND highlights its importance in water resource management in the area. With its multiple uses and regulated status, the dam serves as a vital resource for the local community while also posing manageable risks that are actively monitored and addressed.
