About Ingells & Ervin Dam
The primary purpose of Ingells & Ervin 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 Floyd Ingells, Gerald Ervin (private). It impounds the Tr-brushy Creek near Parnell.
The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 332 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 23 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 262 square miles. Completed in 2001, 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.
