About Frd No 10

The primary purpose of Frd No 10 is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Rock Creek Wjd No 28 (local government). It impounds the Rock Creek-tr near Winfield.

The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 750 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 8 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 330 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1969, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 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.
