About Sloan Lake Dam

The primary purpose of Sloan Lake Dam 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 Cindi Cozad (private). It impounds the Tr-goose Creek near Kingston.

The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 550 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 9 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 77 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 133 square miles. Completed in 1977, the structure is 49 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.
