About Kbd

The primary purpose of Kbd 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 Durst,bowman,knoche (private). It impounds the North Fabius near Taylor.

The dam stands 32 feet tall and stretches 264 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 19 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 19 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1,418 square miles. Completed in 1995, the structure is 31 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.

At 32 feet, this dam is taller than 76% of dams nationwide.
