About Dave Geiman

The primary purpose of Dave Geiman 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 Dave Geiman (private). It impounds the East Fork Of Muddy Creek near Hatfield.

The dam stands 24 feet tall and stretches 532 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 4 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 150 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 128 square miles. Completed in 1996, the structure is 30 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.
