About Jackie Hague Dam

The primary purpose of Jackie Hague 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 Jackie Hague (private). It impounds the Tr-little Muddy near Trenton.

The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 371 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 4 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 22 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 160 square miles. Completed in 1997, the structure is 29 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. The most recent inspection on record was 06/23/2004. That was over 22 years ago.
