About Feutz Dam
The primary purpose of Feutz 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 E. B. Feutz (private). It impounds the Tr-beaverdam near Mexico.
The dam stands 19 feet tall and stretches 630 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 3 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 59 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 102 square miles. Completed in 2006, 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 10/31/2006. That was over 19 years ago.
