About Tabo Creek Watershed Dam A- 24b
The primary purpose of Tabo Creek Watershed Dam A- 24b 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 Sub Distric (local government). It impounds the Tr-tabo Creek near Norborne.
The dam stands 30 feet tall and stretches 820 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 7 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 68 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 245 square miles. Completed in 1967, 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.
