They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Roger Job (local government). It impounds the Tr-durgens Creek near Hannibal.

The dam stands 32 feet tall and stretches 455 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 57 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 12 square miles. Completed in 1981, the structure is 45 years old.
