About Durgens Creek Watershed Dam 22
The primary purpose of Durgens Creek Watershed Dam 22 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 Durgens Cr Wrsd Subdistr (local government). It impounds the Tr-durgens Creek near Hannibal.
The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 630 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 101 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 38 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.
