Built in 1960 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 48 feet and stretches 500 feet in length, serving primarily for flood risk reduction. With a storage capacity of 560 acre-feet and a drainage area of 410 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential water-related hazards.
Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Hoover Frankum E-20 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri. The dam's spillway, at 40 feet wide, is uncontrolled, and it has no outlet gates or associated structures. While it currently meets guidelines for emergency action plans, the last inspection date was in 2013, emphasizing the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the dam's continued effectiveness in mitigating flood risks. Overall, the dam presents a moderate risk level (3) and highlights the critical role that infrastructure plays in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
