Coon Creek 29, also known as Korn, is a vital structure in Monroe, Wisconsin, designed by the USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of debris control. This earth dam, completed in 1961, stands at a height of 34 feet and spans a length of 440 feet along Coon Creek. It serves to mitigate flood risks and contributes to the overall management of water resources in the area.

Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Coon Creek 29 has a normal storage capacity of 10 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 195 cubic feet per second. Despite being classified with a low hazard potential, the dam's condition was assessed as unsatisfactory in 2018. Regular inspections are conducted to ensure its structural integrity and functionality for the surrounding community.

With a moderate risk assessment rating, Coon Creek 29 remains a crucial component of the local water resource infrastructure. As climate change continues to impact the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, structures like this play a key role in reducing flood risks and protecting the environment. The collaboration between local government agencies and the USDA NRCS underscores the importance of proactive management and maintenance of water resources in the face of a changing climate.
