About Lance No 1
The primary purpose of Lance No 1 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 Caryl Lance (private). It impounds the Tr-kellog Branch near Avenue City.
The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 350 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 22 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 51 square miles. Completed in 1992, the structure is 34 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.
