Summary

This privately-owned earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 44 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Little Loutre Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the St. Louis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Despite being classified with a low hazard potential and not having a formal condition assessment, Ki-Wi Lake Dam remains a key water resource in the region. With a surface area of 6 acres and drainage area of 80 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water for irrigation, recreation, and water supply. Although not regulated or inspected by the state, the dam continues to fulfill its purpose effectively and safely.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the infrastructure of Ki-Wi Lake Dam will appreciate its historical significance and functional design. With a serene location in Montgomery County, Missouri, this dam serves as a vital component of the local water management system, showcasing the importance of sustainable water resource utilization for agricultural and recreational purposes in the region.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
