About Durgens Creek Watershed Dam Lt-104

The primary purpose of Durgens Creek Watershed Dam Lt-104 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 Clarence Deters (private). It impounds the Tr-durgens Creek near Hannibal.

The dam stands 31 feet tall and stretches 445 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 58 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 64 square miles. Completed in 1981, the structure is 45 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.
