About Buck & Doe Run Watershed Dam 25
The primary purpose of Buck & Doe Run Watershed Dam 25 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 Buck & Doe Run Wrsd Subd (local government). It impounds the Tr-buck Run Cr near Canton.
The dam stands 25 feet tall and stretches 600 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 72 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 44 square miles. Completed in 1972, 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.
