About Frank Chaney Dam
The primary purpose of Frank Chaney 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 Frank Chaney (private). It impounds the Tr-medicine near Bedford.
The dam stands 31 feet tall and stretches 256 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 4 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 35 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 128 square miles. Completed in 2000, the structure is 26 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 03/20/2000. That was over 26 years ago.
