About Noland Lake Dam

The primary purpose of Noland Lake Dam 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 Charles Noland Estate (private). It impounds the Tr-tebo Creek near Warsaw.

The dam stands 26 feet tall and stretches 250 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 4 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 64 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 140 square miles. Completed in 1974, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.

This dam has a significant hazard potential classification, meaning that a failure could cause significant economic damage — flooding roads, bridges, or property downstream — but is not expected to result in loss of life.
