About Schultz Farms Dam

The primary purpose of Schultz Farms 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 Schultz Farms (private). It impounds the Tr-platte River near Conception Junction.

The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 623 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 7 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 57 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 170 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.
