About Tabo Creek Watershed Dam E-34
The primary purpose of Tabo Creek Watershed Dam E-34 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 Tabo Cr Wrsd Subdistrict (local government). It impounds the Tr-little Tabo Creek near Norborne.
The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 520 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 214 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 440 square miles. Completed in 1968, 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.
