About Ronda Connor Dam

The primary purpose of Ronda Connor 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 Ronda Connor (private). It impounds the East Locust Creek near Browning.

The dam stands 33 feet tall and stretches 220 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 3 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 18 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 44 square miles. Completed in 1993, the structure is 33 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 33 feet, this dam is taller than 78% of dams nationwide.
