About Kline Dam

The primary purpose of Kline 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 Dilllion Kleine (private). It impounds the Tr-little Wyaconda near St Patrick.

The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 274 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 45 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 32 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.
