They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Clyde Frizell (private). It impounds the Trib To Battle Creek near Talmage.
The dam stands 26 feet tall and stretches 555 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 9 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 114 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 0 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.
