Huppert is a privately owned dam located in Pierce, Wisconsin, on a tributary to the Wind River. Built in 1967, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet with a hydraulic height of 21 feet, stretching 420 feet in length. The dam has a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.2 square miles, with a maximum discharge rate of 70 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, the condition of Huppert has not been officially assessed, and it lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or inundation maps.
Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR), Huppert is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. The dam's primary purpose is classified as "Other," with its spillway type listed as "Uncontrolled." The dam does not have any associated structures or outlet gates, and its inspection frequency is set at 10 years. The risk management measures and emergency preparedness status for Huppert remain unclear, highlighting the need for further evaluation and potentially the development of an EAP to ensure the safety and resilience of this water resource in the face of changing climate conditions and potential hazards.
