Summary

Built in 1910, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 201 acre-feet. With a surface area of 15 acres and a drainage area of 200 acres, this dam serves as a popular spot for water recreation activities.

Despite its age, Santa Fe Country Club has not been assessed for its condition and is considered to have a high hazard potential. The last inspection of the dam took place in May 1980, with no recent updates on its condition assessment or emergency action plan. The dam is under local government ownership and is primarily used for recreation purposes, attracting visitors to enjoy the surrounding landscape and water activities.

Located in Linn County, Missouri, Santa Fe Country Club is part of the Rock Island District and is not regulated by the state. With its historical significance and potential for recreational use, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring water resources for climate enthusiasts and conservationists alike.

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.
