Mott is a private earth dam located in Neptune, Wisconsin, along the TR-Wheat Hollow Creek. Completed in 1971, the dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a length of 370 feet, with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. It also serves additional purposes such as flood risk reduction and recreation, with a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.2 square miles.
Although Mott has a low hazard potential, its condition assessment is rated as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and repairs. The last inspection was conducted in August 2010, with an inspection frequency of 10 years. The dam's risk assessment is moderate, with a DSAC assigned date yet to be determined. It is regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Given its location and purpose, Mott plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience in the region. With its strategic position along the TR-Wheat Hollow Creek, the dam not only provides essential fire protection and water storage but also contributes to flood risk reduction and recreational opportunities. However, the dam's poor condition assessment highlights the importance of regular maintenance and risk management to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the community and surrounding ecosystems.
