About Tabo Creek Watershed Dam E-41
The primary purpose of Tabo Creek Watershed Dam E-41 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 Sbdistr (local government). It impounds the Little Tabo Creek near Norborne.
The dam stands 23 feet tall and stretches 645 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 16 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 109 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 403 square miles. Completed in 1965, 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.
