About Durgens Creek Watershed Dam Lts-125
The primary purpose of Durgens Creek Watershed Dam Lts-125 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 A.j. Bronstine (local government). It impounds the Tr-durgens Creek near Hannibal.
The dam stands 28 feet tall and stretches 550 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 4 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 45 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 65 square miles. Completed in 1982, the structure is 44 years old.
