About Donald Reeter Dam
The primary purpose of Donald Reeter 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 Donald Reeter (private). It impounds the Tr-medicine near Chula.
The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 355 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 42 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 14 square miles. Completed in 1990, the structure is 36 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. The most recent inspection on record was 05/09/1990. That was over 35 years ago.
