About Tallman No 2 Dam
The primary purpose of Tallman No 2 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 Charles Tallman (private). It impounds the Tr-no Fk Middle Fabius R near Taylor.
The dam stands 34 feet tall and stretches 237 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 14 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 46 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 210 square miles. Completed in 1991, the structure is 35 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 34 feet, this dam is taller than 78% of dams nationwide.
