About Tabo Creek Watershed Dam E-30
The primary purpose of Tabo Creek Watershed Dam E-30 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 Tabo Cr Wtersd Subdistri (local government). It impounds the Tr-little Tabo Creek near Norborne.
The dam stands 23 feet tall and stretches 535 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 10 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 310 square miles. Completed in 1967, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 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.
