About Duane Luna Dam

The primary purpose of Duane Luna 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 Duane Luna (private). It impounds the Squaw Creek near Nodaway.

The dam stands 31 feet tall and stretches 622 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 3 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 211 square miles. Completed in 2003, 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. The most recent inspection on record was 05/29/2004. That was over 21 years ago.
