About Bantz & Getty Structure Dam
The primary purpose of Bantz & Getty 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 Bantz&getty (private). It impounds the Tr-nodaway River near Maitland.
The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 320 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 6 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 23 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 198 square miles. Completed in 1960, 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.
