About Kirby Rosier Dam

The primary purpose of Kirby Rosier 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 Kirby Rosier (private). It impounds the Tr-squaw Creek near Nodaway.

The dam stands 33 feet tall and stretches 630 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 43 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 52 square miles. Completed in 2002, the structure is relatively new.

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.
