About Reid Dam

The primary purpose of Reid 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 Randy & Pam Shubert (private). It impounds the Tr-middle Fabius River near Maywood.

The dam stands 38 feet tall and stretches 215 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 9 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 17 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 420 square miles. Completed in 1994, the structure is 32 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.

At 38 feet, this dam is taller than 85% of dams nationwide.
