About Ed Alexander

The primary purpose of Ed Alexander 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 Ed Alexander (private). It impounds the Tr-college Creek near Emmanus Saietaium.

The dam stands 34 feet tall and stretches 239 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 4 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 30 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 140 square miles. Completed in 1996, the structure is 30 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 34 feet, this dam is taller than 80% of dams nationwide.
