About Nancy Inderwiesen Dam

The primary purpose of Nancy Inderwiesen 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 Nancy Inderwiesen (private). It impounds the Tr-big Creek near Gallatin.

The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 519 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 3 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 34 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 30 square miles. Completed in 1989, the structure is 37 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 09/30/1989. That was over 36 years ago.
