Summary
Built in 1968, this private-owned Earth dam measures 27 feet in height and spans 420 feet in length, serving as a crucial water resource management structure in the region. With a normal storage capacity of 13 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 190 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a vital role in flood control and water conservation efforts.
Despite its low hazard potential, the Wayne Brand Structure Dam is rated as having moderate risk, signifying the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance. With an uncontrolled spillway and a stone core foundation, the dam is designed to withstand the hydraulic pressures of the surrounding environment. While not currently regulated or inspected by state authorities, its role in grade stabilization and water management is essential for the local community and the broader ecosystem.
As a key feature in the Kansas City District, the Wayne Brand Structure Dam serves as a model for sustainable water resource management and climate resilience. With its strategic location in Nodaway County, Missouri, this dam represents a crucial asset in the region's infrastructure, contributing to flood control, water conservation, and overall environmental protection efforts. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding and supporting structures like the Wayne Brand Structure Dam is essential for ensuring a sustainable and resilient future for our communities.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
