About Kenneth Johnson Structure Dam
The primary purpose of Kenneth Johnson Structure 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 Kenneth Johnson (private). It impounds the Tr-buchanan Creek-nodaway Rvr near Braddyville Iowa.
The dam stands 26 feet tall and stretches 350 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 3 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 26 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 150 square miles. Completed in 1980, the structure is 46 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.
