About Vandewert Dam
The primary purpose of Vandewert 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 Wayne Vandewert (private). It impounds the Tr-flat Creek near Paris.
The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 446 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 6 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 71 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 68 square miles. Completed in 2005, the structure is relatively new.
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 09/30/2005. That was over 20 years ago.
