Mononame 572 dam
Mononame 572
Mononame 572 is a private earth dam located in Perry, Missouri, along TR Lick Creek. Built in 1974, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a storage capacity of 107 acre-feet and a normal storage of 10 acre-feet. The dam has a height of 10 feet and a surface area of 20 acres, providing a picturesque setting for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing.
Despite its low hazard potential, Mononame 572 has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is no information available on its emergency action plan or risk management measures. The dam is not regulated by the state and does not require permitting, inspection, or enforcement. The St. Louis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers oversees its operations, though no federal funding or agency ownership is associated with the structure.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in the Ralls County area may find Mononame 572 to be a hidden gem for recreational opportunities and nature appreciation. Its tranquil waters and surrounding landscape offer a peaceful escape for visitors seeking to connect with the outdoors. While the dam's condition assessment and emergency preparedness are areas for improvement, its historical significance and ecological value make it a valuable asset for the community and a potential focus for future conservation efforts.
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 Mononame 572
Where does the data for Mononame 572 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.
