About Francy Site 3
The primary purpose of Francy Site 3 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 Larry Francy (private). It impounds the Tributary Of Bogus Creek near Lowell, Ia.
The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 366 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 20 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 0 square miles. Completed in 2010, 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. The most recent inspection on record was 09/23/2010. That was over 15 years ago.
