About Curtis Myers Dam #2
The primary purpose of Curtis Myers Dam #2 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 Curtis Myers (private). It impounds the Tr-brush Creek near Parkville.
The dam stands 25 feet tall and stretches 375 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 4 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 26 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 134 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 09/05/2000. That was over 25 years ago.
