Lehenbaur Lake Dam Sect 28 dam
Lehenbaur Lake Dam Sect 28
Lehenbaur Lake Dam Sect 28, located in Callaway County, Missouri, is a private earth dam completed in 1969 primarily for recreational purposes. This dam, with a structural height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 134 acre-feet, serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities such as fishing and boating on its 10-acre surface area. Despite being privately owned, the dam is not regulated or inspected by state authorities, and its hazard potential is classified as low.
Situated on the TR-Auxvasse Creek, Lehenbaur Lake Dam Sect 28 is managed independently without federal funding or oversight. Although the dam has not been assessed for its condition, it continues to provide a tranquil setting for visitors to enjoy the natural surroundings. With its serene atmosphere and picturesque location, this dam is a hidden gem for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of Missouri.
While Lehenbaur Lake Dam Sect 28 may not be widely recognized, its contribution to local recreation and water conservation efforts should not be overlooked. As climate change continues to impact water resources globally, small-scale structures like this dam play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and providing sustainable recreational opportunities for communities. As we strive to protect and preserve our natural environment, places like Lehenbaur Lake Dam Sect 28 serve as reminders of the importance of responsible water resource management in the face of a changing climate.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Lehenbaur Lake Dam Sect 28
Where does the data for Lehenbaur Lake Dam Sect 28 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
