About Angran Dam
The primary purpose of Angran Dam is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Jim Angran (private). It impounds the Tr- South Avery Creek near Ottumwa.
The dam stands 33 feet tall and stretches 245 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 16 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 0 square miles. Completed in 2001, the structure is relatively new.
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.
At 33 feet, this dam is taller than 78% of dams nationwide.
