About Dd No H-11
The primary purpose of Dd No H-11 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 Pottawatomie Creek Wjd No 90 (local government). It impounds the N Frk Sac Branch Pott Creek-tr.
The dam stands 31 feet tall and stretches 1,000 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 9 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 400 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 2002, 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 09/21/2001. That was over 25 years ago.
