Beers, located in Green, Wisconsin, is a privately owned dam designed by USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of fire protection, as well as serving as a stock or small fish pond. Completed in 1961, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a hydraulic height of 24 feet, with a total length of 354 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 34 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 6 acres and draining a 0.4 square mile watershed.
The dam structure is regulated and inspected by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam has a controlled spillway with a width of 20 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 225 cubic feet per second. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for Beers indicates a very high risk level (1), highlighting the need for careful monitoring and management of the dam to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
In the event of an emergency, the dam does not currently have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and the condition assessment is noted as "Not Rated." With its location on the TR Dougherty Creek and its critical role in fire protection and water storage, Beers serves as an important structure in the local water resource management system, requiring ongoing attention and maintenance to mitigate potential risks and ensure its continued functionality.
