About Caldwell Co. Site 002-1

The primary purpose of Caldwell Co. Site 002-1 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 Caldwell County Court (local government). It impounds the Tr-goose Creek near Dawn.

The dam stands 28 feet tall and stretches 560 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 9 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 69 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 160 square miles. Completed in 1978, the structure is 48 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.
