About Krummen Dam
The primary purpose of Krummen 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 Larry Krummen (private). It impounds the Neighorn Branch.
The dam stands 32 feet tall and stretches 481 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 58 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 25 square miles. Completed in 2009, 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 01/15/2009. That was over 17 years ago.
At 32 feet, this dam is taller than 76% of dams nationwide.
