About Stoner Dam

The primary purpose of Stoner Dam is fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. The dam maintains a small impoundment used for fire suppression, livestock watering, or as a fish pond. The dam is owned by Ralph Stoner (private). It impounds the Tr-camp Creek near Hamburg.

The dam stands 40 feet tall and stretches 530 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 13 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 270 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1959, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.

This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life. The most recent inspection on record was 11/29/1960. That was over 65 years ago.

At 40 feet, this dam is taller than 87% of dams nationwide.
