About Hoover-frankum Watershed Dam Lt-44
The primary purpose of Hoover-frankum Watershed Dam Lt-44 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 Stanley Linville (private). It impounds the Tr-huff Creek near Quitman.
The dam stands 30 feet tall and stretches 400 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 3 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 26 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 83 square miles. Completed in 1975, 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.
