About Landess 002
The primary purpose of Landess 002 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 Ron Landess (private). It impounds the Lincoln Creek near Nodaway.
The dam stands 28 feet tall and stretches 440 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 88 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 38 square miles. Completed in 1981, the structure is 45 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.
