Behm, a privately owned dam located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, serves multiple purposes including fire protection and providing a source for stock or small fish pond. Built in 1973 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet with a length of 420 feet, offering a maximum storage capacity of 73 acre-feet. The dam, situated on the Non Nav-Diamond Valley river or stream, also has a significant hazard potential, although its condition was rated as fair during the last assessment in 2018.
Despite being regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR) and meeting state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements, Behm still poses a moderate risk and has a history of being modified in 2006. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge capacity of 40 cubic feet per second. With a drainage area of 1 square mile and a surface area of 7 acres, Behm remains a crucial structure for water resource management and climate resilience in the region. Ron Kind (D) represents the area in Congress, ensuring oversight and support for the dam's operations and maintenance.
