About Harvey Grace Structure Dam
The primary purpose of Harvey Grace 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 Harvey Grace (private). It impounds the Tr- Headrick Branch And Nodawa near Quitman.
The dam stands 38 feet tall and stretches 240 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 24 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 0 square miles. Completed in 1955, 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.
