Summary
This private-owned earth dam on TR-Bynum Creek stands at a height of 15 feet, with a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and a surface area of 10 acres. The dam has a low hazard potential with a condition assessment that is currently not rated.
Although Hollander Dam is not regulated by the state and does not require permitting, inspection, or enforcement, it serves as a vital resource for water management in the area. With a drainage area of 150 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water for irrigation purposes. The dam's location in Audrain County, Missouri, underscores its significance in sustaining agricultural activities in the region.
Furthermore, Hollander Dam's design, which includes a buttress core type foundation, ensures its structural integrity and reliability. While the dam does not have spillways or outlet gates, its low hazard potential and strategic location make it an essential asset for water resource management and climate adaptation efforts in the St. Louis District.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
