About East Locust Creek Watershed Dam E-130

The primary purpose of East Locust Creek Watershed Dam E-130 is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Locust Creek Ws District (local government). It impounds the Tr-east Locust Creek near Browning.

The dam stands 30 feet tall and stretches 500 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 91 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 224 square miles. Completed in 2005, 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.
